Scope note
Pottery that existed during the third and second centuries BCE, and was first found at Megara, but later in Attica and numerous other places. It is generally found on bowls, and is characterized by relief decoration on the exterior, created by a combination of wheel work, stamping, and molding. The surface may be covered with glaze that is also ornamented in black or red. Themes are usually of flowers, with occasional figures and narrative scenes.
