Pottery played an important role in Ancient Greek culture and is considered one of the most important art forms of Ancient Greece. Greek pottery was not only functional but also a form of artistic expression, with intricate designs and scenes depicting various aspects of Greek life and mythology. There were several different styles of Greek pottery, each with its own unique characteristics and designs. Some of the best known styles are 1. Geometric pottery: This style emerged around 900 BC and is characterised by simple geometric designs such as zigzags, triangles and concentric circles. The pottery was often used for funerary purposes and was decorated with abstract motifs. 2. Black figure pottery: This style emerged around 700 BC and is characterised by the use of black figures on a red background. The designs were usually outlined in black and then filled in with a black glaze. Scenes depicted on black-figure pottery often included mythological figures, warriors and everyday life. 3. Red-figure pottery: This style emerged around 530 BC and eventually replaced black-figure pottery as the dominant style. In red-figure pottery, the background was painted black and the figures were left red, allowing for more intricate detail and greater artistic expression.
