The Basse-Yutz Flagons were discovered in 1927 in Basse-Yutz, France.

Evidence

These richly decorated flagons were stumbled on in 1927 by workmen digging in Basse-Yutz. Nothing quite like them had ever been found in western Europe before, and the strangeness of their style and decoration led many experts to assume that they must be fakes. — Neil MacGregor, A History of the World in 100 Objects, 470
