Gnathian Pottery was developed in ancient Apulia during the 4th century BC, and it created a new era in the traditional greek pottery techniques. This pottery type combined the black colored background brought with a varitey of patterns in shades of white, red, and yellow. These vases, often on the smaller side, are like miniature canvases. But it’s not just about aesthetics—these vases tell stories, from playful scenes of erotes to snapshots of everyday life for women. Gnathian pottery paintings often gracing the top half, while the bottom half is adorned with charming ornamental designs.
