Now in an archival quality (removable) Brodart cover.Webster's study of the Athenian pottery industry and its patrons from 600 to 400 B.C., examining workshops, painted pots, and their purchasers. The first chapter assembles evidence for the size and organization of the industry, which appears to have consisted of about a dozen family workshops surviving across several generations and producing painted pottery alongside black-glaze pottery, lamps, moulded vases, and plain ware. Webster then turns to special commissions identifiable by unique scenes or named individuals, to the iconographic repertoire across genres (symposion and komos scenes, dances, cult scenes, athletics, women, mythological scenes), and finally to the patrons and purchasers themselves, with evidence drawn from dipinti, graffiti, advertised prices, findspots, and the names of leading Athenian families. T. B. L. Webster (1905-1974) was a Fellow of the British Academy and Emeritus Professor of Classics at Stanford University.Contents: List of Illustrations; Abbreviations; Foreword; 1. Potters; 2.
