In the course of the work on the basins and high stands in the Archaeological Museum of Izmir, a group of stands both in clay and stone has been investigated, which are subject of this paper. New evidence associated with this group has appeared since the new archaeological explorations have been carried out in the recent years on the western coast of Anatolia; because of this reason it seems important to present the whole group systematically. Dated to the Late Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods, they represent a very common type of their own class and have not yet been treated comprehensively. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the examples of the louteria in the Archaeological Museum of Izmir by referring to comparable finds from other centres in Ionia, as well as from sites in mainland Greece.
