Catalogue Note
The original ‘Warwick Vase’ is a Roman marble vase that was discovered by Gavin Hamilton in the ground of Hardian's Villa, Tivoli in around 1771. It was originally displayed in the grounds of Warwick Castle, then owned by George Greville, 2
nd Earl of Warwick and Hamilton’s nephew. It was offered for sale at auction in 1978 and although originally bought by the Met Museum, New York, an export licence was not granted and, once match funding had been raised, it found its current home in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland.
