This is Fascicule 6 of the J. Paul Getty Museum contribution to the "Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum" series (U.S.A. Fascicule 31), published in 1996 in association with Union Academique Internationale. It consists of a 9.25"x13" hardcover folder containing a 49 page softcover book written by Richard De Puma, and 43 plates each typically featuring multiple black-and-white photos of ancient Greek vases in the Museum collection. Each vase is described in detail in the book. They consist of the following types: Etruscan Impasto and Bucchero.
The set is in very good condition. The folder has a couple small spots on the front, a smudge at the front top left corner. The book and plates show minimal wear and are unmarked.
According to its website, "the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum ('Corpus of Ancient Vases') is the oldest research project of the Union Académique Internationale.
It consists of a series of high-quality
catalogues of mostly ancient Greek painted pottery in collections
around the world. The first fascicule appeared in 1922 and since then
around 380 have appeared, illustrating more than 100,000 vases in 24
countries."
