Domestic equipment in ancient Athens was largely a product of the potter's craft. This booklet illustrates the range of Athenian pottery utensils and the range of uses to which they were put. Where possible, ancient Greek names are provided for the various vessel types illustrated. Many of the uses of pottery are illustrated on museum pieces of the black-figured and red-figured styles (sixth-fifth centuries B.C.). Terra cotta figurines, mostly from Boeotia, also provide some illustrations of everyday use of ceramic objects. Most pottery, both utilitarian and fancy, was wheel made, the process being illustrated extensively on black-figure vases. Besides basic cooking, serving, carrying, and storage utensils, other ceramic items included basins, lamps, perfume jars decorated with Attic black glaze, loomweights, spindle whorls, stands for pointed bottom wine jars (amphora), well heads, grills, and ovens. Locations of all the illustrated vessels are listed at the end of the booklet.
