Six non-joining fragments, a of rim, neck, shoulder, and start of one handle column, b + d of shoulder with swelling for handle root and part of wall, c, f, and g of wall.

Hedreen, Silens in Attic Black-Figure Vase-Painting: Myth and Performance, Ann Arbor 1992, pp. 85--88: here the focus is on vintage scenes as they relate to Dionysos and Naxian wine. There are not very many red-figured examples of satyrs making wine, and 173 seems to be one of the earliest, preceded slightly by the scene on a bell-krater in Basel, Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig, BS 482, attributed to the Kleophrades Painter (ARV2 1632, 49 bis; Addenda 188; CVA, Basel 3 [Schweiz 7], pl. 11 [323]:2, 4); 173 seems to be the only example in which there are four satyrs by themselves. Usually, Dionysos is present, as in the scene by the Cleveland Painter in New York (M.M.A. 41.162.10: ARV2 516, 4; Paralip. 382, 4; Addenda 253) or there may be three satyrs by themselves (e.g., Lecce 602 by the Leningrad Painter: ARV2 569, 39; Paralip. 390, 39; Addenda 261).
173 presents a number of problems concerning interpretation of details.
