A Kitel Phard vase
- "A single Kitel Phard vase could fetch 250,000 credits at auction, but all of these are fakes."
- ―Qi'ra
Kitel Phard vases were glazed pottery vases with patterned imprints that were made under the Kitel Phard dynasty. At the height of the Galactic Empire, a single vase could fetch 250,000 credits when auctioned.[1] Some time between 13 BBY[2] and 10 BBY,[3] Crimson Dawn acquired a crate of vases bearing imprints in the style of the Kitel Phard Dynasty from a raid on a warehouse belonging to Latts Razzi's criminal syndicate. Qi'ra was assigned with cataloguing the syndicate's new acquisitions and determined that the vases were counterfeit. She also noted in Maz Kanata's Smuggler's Guide that the vases came with a tableting bearing the mark of the White Worms. From this, Qi'ra determined the vases were a sign that Proxima's White Worms were doing business with the Razzi Syndicate in violation of their terms with Crimson Dawn and recommended swift and merciless retaliation for the disloyalty.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Kitel Phard vases were first mentioned in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide written by Daniel Wallace.[1]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide
- ↑ This event occurs after Qi'ra joined Crimson Dawn following the prologue of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide dates the events of the prologue to six years after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY. This means the prologue took place in 13 BBY, after which Qi'ra joined Crimson Dawn. Since she evaluates the Kitel Phard vases for Crimson Dawn in Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, the syndicate acquired them no earlier than 13 BBY.
- ↑ Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide dates latter events of Solo: A Star Wars Story to nine years after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY. This means Dryden Vos's death at the end of the film was in 10 BBY. Since Vos was alive at this point in Star Wars: Smuggler's Guide, Crimson Dawn's acquisition of the Kitel Phard vases took place no later than 10 BBY.
