The technique, invented around 530 BCE, involves painting figures in added white, red, or pink on top of a black-glaze ground and incising details so that the black glaze shows through. The resulting effect is similar to red-figure. Beazley named this technique after the Dutch scholar Jan Six, who first drew attention to these polychrome vases. ]]></note></mads>
