krater

基本解释

Set in its windows, like pearls in an oyster, are an elegant Attic red figure krater attributed to a 5th-century BC painter, an Etruscan pouring vessel and an array of vases.
许多骨董像是蚌壳里的珍珠般被放在橱窗里，有一尊造型优美的红色雅典酒器，推测是出自西元前5世纪一位画家之手，有一个伊特鲁里亚人水瓶和一整排的花瓶。
Current Status: After several years of negotiation, the Met returned the krater to Italy in 2008 in exchange for the rights to display several comparable artifacts on loan.
目前状况：经过多年的磋商，大都会博物馆在2008年把陶瓶归还给了意大利，作为交换，博物馆获得了借走几件相同价值文物的用来展览的权利。
And while any cloud of suspicion over the krater's provenance was unbeknownst to Met curators in 1972, the museum faced calls from Italy to return the artifact, originally discovered outside Rome.
所以正当大都会博物馆馆长为陶瓶究竟来自哪里而感到疑惑时，博物馆收到了来自意大利的电话，原来陶瓶是最先在罗马城外发现的，并且意大利方面要求将陶瓶退还。
