Scope note
Refers to a phase of Corinthian pottery style that existed from around 630 BCE to around 625 BCE, between Proto-Corinthian and Early Corinthian styles. It is characterized by a change in the shape of pots to favor slimmer vessels rather than the squatter Proto-Corinthian shapes. The vase painting differs from the earlier style in its move away from spontaneity to a standardized repetition of figure types.
