    A convex set \(S\) in a linear space is a Choquet simplex if for any two homothetic copies of \(S\) their intersection, if non-empty, is again a homothetic copy of \(S\). In [Discrete Comput. Geom. 22, 193--200 (1999; Zbl 0952.52003)] the author proved that if \(B_{1}\) and \(B_{2}\) are a pair of bounded convex bodies in Euclidean space such that every non-empty intersection of \(B_{1}\) and a translate of \(B_{2}\) is a homothetic copy of a given bounded convex body \(B\), then \(B_{1}\), \(B_{2}\) and \(B\) are homothetic Choquet simplices. In the present paper, this characteristic intersection property of Choquet simplices is extended to line-free convex sets, possibly unbounded, and all the triples \(B_{1}\), \(B_{2}\) and \(B\) satisfying such property are described.
