Technology, Crafting and Artisanal Networks in the Greek and Roman World
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Technology, Crafting and Artisanal Networks in the Greek and Roman World

Abstract

Shapes and potters’ work have received only occasional attention in the study of South Italian red-figured ware. While the personalities of the painters working in South Italian workshops are to some degree established, there is little if any information available on the potters working within the same contexts. The absence of signatures and the reduced number of published profiles (an essential tool for recognizing work by an anonymous potter) have hindered the progress of research, and potters are as a consequence still shadowy figures. Through an analysis of the transformations of the morphological repertoires produced in the workshops operating in the main production centers, this chapter aims to provide new elements to highlight the role played by potters in the development of red-figured pottery in southern Italy. Case studies will be chosen among Metapontine workshops, where the large output and the variety of shapes produced both in red-figured and in black gloss suggest the potters’ originality and capacity for innovation.
