A lucrative trade in Athenian pottery flourished from the early
sixth until the late fifth century B.C.E., finding an eager market
in Etruria. Most studies of these painted vases focus on the
artistry and worldview of the Greeks who made them, but Sheramy D.
Bundrick shifts attention to their Etruscan customers, ancient
trade networks, and archaeological contexts. Thousands of Greek
painted vases have emerged from excavations of tombs, sanctuaries,
and settlements throughout Etruria, from southern coastal centers
to northern communities in the Po Valley. Using documented
archaeological assemblages, especially from tombs in southern
Etruria, Bundrick challenges the widely held assumption that
Etruscans were hellenized through Greek imports. She marshals
evidence to show that Etruscan consumers purposefully selected
figured pottery that harmonized with their own local needs and
customs, so much so that the vases are better described as
etruscanized. Athenian ceramic workers, she contends, learned from
traders which shapes and imagery sold best to the Etruscans and
employed a variety of strategies to maximize artistry, output, and
profit.
