World History Encyclopedia<p>Black figure pottery is a type of Greek pottery named after the colour of the scenes painted on vessels. It was first produced in Corinth c. 700 BCE and then adopted by pottery painters in Attica, where it would become the dominant decorative style from 625 BCE. Athenian vases then dominated the Mediterranean pottery market for the next 150 years.<br /><a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/Black_Figure_Pottery/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">worldhistory.org/Black_Figure_</span><span class="invisible">Pottery/</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amphora</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlackFigurePottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackFigurePottery</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FrancoisVase" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FrancoisVase</span></a></p>
World History Encyclopedia<p>The François Vase is a large Attic volute-krater dating to c. 570-565 BCE, and it is perhaps the example par excellence of the black-figure pottery style. An astonishing range of scenes and characters from Greek mythology cover the vase and make it an important reference for these stories, some of which no longer exist in written form.<br /><a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/Francois_Vase/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">worldhistory.org/Francois_Vase/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amphora</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlackFigurePottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackFigurePottery</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FrancoisTomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FrancoisTomb</span></a></p>
World History Encyclopedia<p>A distinctive red and black colour scheme characterises most of the painted pottery of sixth- and fifth-century Athens. The colours result from the skilful exploitation of the high iron content of Athenian clay by an ingenious process of differential firing. The black areas of a black or red-figured pot were coated in a fine solution of the same clay that was used for the body of the vase.
