ATTIC VASES
Learn about the history of Athenian vases, how they were made, the decoration techniques, the origin of the clays used for their production in antiquity and today, the sophisticated 3-stage firing, and the people behind them. Luxury export goods in Archaic and Classical times dominated the Mediterranean markets from the 6th to 7th cent BCE and contributed to the wealth and appeal of Athenians and their lifestyle in antiquity.
