Bøger af Brian A. Sparkes

The Red and the Black covers the history of Greek pottery production, both figured and plain, as they are understood today. It also covers a hitherto nelgected area: the history of the collecting of Greek pottery.

By mingling images on well-preserved Greek vases with the more fragmentary ceramics recovered during excavations at the Agora, the authors show how different vessel forms were used in classical Athens.
