specific use, whether decorative or productive such as food, water, or wine storage.

Black Figured Pottery (700 BCE)

The Athenian potters learned how to obtain the reddish orange hue by mixing red ochre with their clay.
Details within the silhouetted figures were incised before firing using a sgraffito technique.
