Bøker av Brian A. Sparkes

By mingling images on well-preserved Greek vases with the more fragmentary ceramics recovered during excavations at the Agora, the authors show how different vessel forms were used in classical Athens.

The Red and the Black covers the history of Greek pottery production, both figured and plain, as they are understood today. It also covers a hitherto nelgected area: the history of the collecting of Greek pottery.
