The State Hermitage Museum possesses specimens of two Athenian red-figured reversible shapes (lekanis lid and plate). Due to rarity, pieces should be dated basing on the style of paintings. These were produced by at least four or five different pottery workshops active between the late 5th and the early 4th century BC including those of the Meidias Painter and the Meleagres Painter defined by J.D. Beazley as well as that one related to the Pierides Painter described by I. McPhee and D. Trendall.
