What is a pyxis? Who was the Amasis Painter? How did Greek vases
get their distinctive black and orange colors? This richly
illustrated book--the latest in the popular Looking At
series--offers definitions and descriptions of these and many other
Greek vase shapes, painters, and techniques encountered in museum
exhibitions and publications on ancient Greek ceramics. Included is
an essay on how to look at Greek vases and another on the
conservation of ancient ceramics. These essays provide succinct
explanations of the terms most frequently encountered by
museum-goers. The concise definitions are divided into two
sections, one on potters and painters and another on vase shapes
and technical terms relating to the construction and decoration of
the vases. Featuring numerous color illustrations of Greek vases,
many from the Getty Museum's collection, Understanding Greek Vases
is an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to obtain a greater
understanding and enjoyment of Greek ceramics.
