The course aims to provide a general history  of Greek vases, from  the beginnings in the Proto-Geometric period to the late Hellenistic age (11th – 1st centuries BC). 

Greek pottery is a primary historical-artistic source for the knowledge of the ancient world. Through a diachronic selection of significant productions introduced through outlines of relevant historical studies on Greek vases, will be discussed technical and material components of the manufacture (fabrics, slips, decorations etc.), functions of shapes, meanings of the iconographical subjects, primary and secondary end-usages, the social and artistic contexts that produced and used them.

The student will acquire (a) personal knowledge of the methodological background of the discipline, the ability to recognize and  contextualize materials and contexts correctly, an  appropriate knowledge of the scientific language of the discipline.
