Extract
To his account of the sculptures in the collection of the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey, Michaelis appended a brief mention of the vases in the Duke's possession, singling out ‘one of a Bacchante dancing merrily, for whom a Satyr in a graceful attitude blows the flute.’ This vase was in the British Museum for a few weeks some years ago, and I happened to see it there: his Grace very kindly permitted me to have it photographed, to copy the pictures, and to publish it here (Pls. XVII, XVIII): for which I would beg him to accept my thanks.
It is a vase of a common type—a Nolan amphora—but of quite unusual charm. The picture on the front—the dancing maenad, the boy satyr playing the flute—is complete in itself; but the singing woman on the back of the vase is not a mere ‘mantle figure,’ she is connected with the group on the front, and blends with them into a trio—music, dance, and song.

The rhyton, my No. 75, is now in Toronto (Robinson, D. M., Greek Vases at Toronto, Pl. 56, 360Google Scholar): it is not, I think, by the Phiale painter, but by the Marlay painter.
