This volume covers the major stages in the history of Greek pottery
production, both figured and plain, as they are understood today.
It provides an up-to-date evaluation of ways of studying Greek
pottery and encourages new approaches. There is a detailed analysis
of the subject matter of figured scenes covering some of the main
preoccupations of ancient Greece: myth, fantasy and everyday life.
Furthermore, it sets the artefacts in the context of the societies
that produced them, highlighting the social, art historical,
mythological and economic information that can be revealed from
their study. This volume also covers a hitherto neglected area: the
history of the collecting of Greek pottery through the Renaissance
and up to the present day. It shows how market values have
gradually increased to the high prices of today and goes on to take
a closer look at the enthusiasm of the collectors.
