A Reference Guide to Ancient Greek Pottery: Shapes, Techniques, Painters, and More

By: Javens, Mack

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As the result of its relative durability, pottery is a large part of the archaeological record of Ancient Greece, and because there is so much of it (some 100,000 vases are recorded in the Corpus vasorum antiquorum) it has exerted a disproportionately large influence on our understanding of Greek society. Read all about the pottery of ancient Greece with chapters on wine, perfume, wedding, funerary, cultic, and storage shapes; techniques, painters, and special topics in Greek pottery. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
