I just found this channel specifically researching greek pottery and it's terrific! My favorite is the traveling or shipping amphora because it doesn't have a freestanding base!
The Kylix, started my study at QU St Lucia 1980 , ferny grove has an abundence of red clays , yet the green patina from magna Grecea , i have reproduced, this patina is one of the bands, layers in the terrasigillata Professor Nobles referres to in his book,

One of the reasons Amphora had pointed bottoms is so they could be stood upright in a sandy floor (not everyone had furniture) or dropped in to a grilled frame on a ship, so it wouldn't roll about.
Great video, it was super informative and the presenter was incredibly well-spoken. Not to mention, the scarf in her hair is super cute and I love her shirt. Keep up the great videos!
This is a great video on an extensive subject. Were I an art teacher, I would show it. As a student of art and archaeology, it is great! You Kelly, are a great teacher. While working with very fine red ocher on projectile points in France, it dawned on me that the black figures are just this, very fine red ocher, not just red clay reduced to metal in the kiln. How does one choose a favorite? Most agree the red figure wares to be a technical advancement, I among them, but I like the black figure wares just as much.
Good luck with your channel. In Grade Five I found a children's edition of The Odyssey illustrated in Greek vase style by Joan Kiddell-Monroe. My interest has never waned.
allangardiner Using greek potery drawing style to illustrate the Illiad and Odysea for kids was a WONDERFULL idea from Joan Kiddell Monroe ! I had the chance to receive the Odys ea with drawings in this style I never forgot and gave me a solid base to reject the vulgar and stupidifying Walt Dysney way to illustrate books for children , that is to irréversibly corrupt their notion of drawing as well as their mental image of Greeks and of classic culture.
I have a question about the Kylix, why was it such a wide design? Like wouldn’t a cup be easier to drink from and safer for tipping over. Was it to air out the wine or something? Thanks
Hi! They sure do. I have a replica myself. Etsy is a really good place to start looking. Here's one artist/seller: www.etsy.com/au/shop/AncientGreekCeramic?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1091525766&from_page=listing
By any chance, do you know if the patterns had any significance, if they symbolized something or were purely decorative? Like the pattern at the neck of the vase at 6 48. I'm looking at doing some ancient Greek art, and was wondering if the pattern i chose to work with would hold any meaning. Searched online and as far as I can see there is nothing on this.
Hi! It was purely decorative, as the scenes depicted on the vessels were significant. Ancient Greek pottery had four distinctive design stages: Proto-geometric pottery, Geometric pottery, Black-figure pottery and Red-figure pottery, and the patterns changed over time, but were still decorative in nature. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Portability, availability, affordability, tradition, and the Goddamn French Impressionists bought up all the canvas, precipitating the bad feelings and Odor Wars between the Greeks and the French, which sadly continue to this very day.
Hi! No, they didn't. Porcelain was invented in China and mostly used in Asia, before spreading to the Middle East and Europe in the 16th century. Thanks for watching!

Do you have a favourite type of ancient Greek vessel? Which design technique do you like the most?
I enjoy the artwork on the pottery that acts often as a type of primary source about Greek mythology.

I'm a potter and this pottery is mind blowing. Absolutely stunning! It makes me want to try and copy it.
Ancient Greek pottery is absolutely fascinating.

Thank you so much! Me being Greek, this was so insightful for me, I can't thank you enough!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

fun fact, few people know we get the word Ostracism, comes from Ostraca, a broken piece of clay potter. I actually made a short lecture about it.
Excellent video, as usual. Keep up the great work! ❤❤❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much, we plan to! 🙂
Great video and tshirt Kelly! Loved it!
Thanks for watching, glad to hear you loved it!

@@ezzovonachalm9815 I am on full agreement with your comments.
Very informative video & great t-shirt! Greetings from Athens! :)
what athens original name was?
@jodintlz5491 it's just been athens I think
I have a question about the Kylix, why was it such a wide design? Like wouldn’t a cup be easier to drink from and safer for tipping over. Was it to air out the wine or something? Thanks
Hi! The design was to allow the drinkers to drink from it while being reclined. It was also an ideal design to display art.
Do they sell greek pots anywhere or at least replicas of them?
Hi! They sure do. I have a replica myself. Etsy is a really good place to start looking. Here's one artist/seller: www.etsy.com/au/shop/AncientGreekCeramic?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1091525766&from_page=listing

I love them all but I don't undestand why They painted them on pottery?
Portability, availability, affordability, tradition, and the Goddamn French Impressionists bought up all the canvas, precipitating the bad feelings and Odor Wars between the Greeks and the French, which sadly continue to this very day.
what did they use as paint?
Liquid clay (a slip) and coloured pigments. Here is our article on ancient Greek pottery: worldhistory.org/Greek_Pottery/
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia thank you kindly
Was it just my imagination, but didn’t all the pottery scenes depicting the all male parties you spoke of, also feature women?
Hi! It wasn't your imagination, what you're seeing are female pornē and hetaira - women who entertain at these all-male symposium.
Did the Greeks used porcelain?
Hi! No, they didn't. Porcelain was invented in China and mostly used in Asia, before spreading to the Middle East and Europe in the 16th century. Thanks for watching!

The contrast of these beautiful classic designs and the clown like outfit of the narrator is disturbing. Odd mix.
How? How is this a clown like outfit? I think you need to take your negativity elsewhere.👋
What crawled up your butt and died?

How ???

YOU probably need the help of a psychologist !
