"The words "Greek vases" usually bring to mind works in black and red-orange colors. While that decorative scheme was indeed the prevailing one on Athenian terracotta vases of the Late Archaic and Classical periods (the sixth through fourth century B.C.), some Athenian potters and painters experimented with a variety of other decorative techniques. Several of these techniques have been treated separately, but here Beth Cohen takes an in-depth at look the complete range of techniques in Athenian pottery decoration."--BOOK JACKET.
