Questions About Black Figure Pottery
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The difference between black-figure and red-figure Greek pottery is that in black-figure pottery, figural and ornamental motifs were applied with a slip that turned black during firing and the background was color of the clay, whereas the decorative motifs on red-figure vases remained the color of the clay; the background, filled in with a slip, turned black. Red-figure is essentially the reverse of a black figure. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique Greek pottery.
- What makes black pottery black?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few ways to make pottery black, but the most popular way is through technique instead of the use of pigments or dyes.
