Twenty-one carry the name Stewart and a Vounous tomb number: they come from James R. Stewart's excavations at Vounous in 1937–38, whose records he gave to the Swedish Cyprus Expedition after the war. Thirteen carry Medelhavsmuseet accession numbers, the series used for objects acquired from Cyprus between 1930 and 1954, and nineteen cite the Cyprus Museum.

More Vounous pottery with tomb numbers is in the other excavations series; the expedition's own Middle and Late Bronze Age tombs are in the Ayios Iakovos and Milia series. Use "No recorded place" under Site in the explorer to see all object photographs of this kind.
