Vasiliki ware
- Scope note
- Early Minoan pottery named after a site in eastern Crete, and characterized by the invention of unusual shapes, including teapots with exaggerated, long spouts and jugs with tall, beaked spouts. Distinctive decoration was created by covering the entire pot with a coat of slip, which was mottled during firing to achieve a variegated effect in brilliant red and black.
