A Hellenistic relief bowl in Jena (Friedrich-Schiller-University, Sammlung Antiker Kleinkunst Inv. V 267) was bought at the auction house Hugo Helbing, Munich, in 1913. The inscription connected it with four well-known bowls which – on the basis of their ornamentation system and the utilized puncheons – can be attributed to the Charioteer workshop located at Sardis. The inscription denominates most likely the name of a workshop owner, and to that ›atelier of Kerdon‹ can be attributed one more relief bowl without signature at Sadberk-Hanım-Museum, Istanbul. The chronology, based upon the shapes of the letters and upon a recently found stratified bowl in a tumulus near Sardis, affirmed the already proposed date for the Kerdon-signed bowls to the 4th quarter of the 2nd century/around 100 B.C.
