Polychrome

Definition
Polychrome refers to vases that feature multiple colors in addition to the usual red and black derived from firing Athenian clay and slip (see Added Color). Examples of polychrome are relatively rare in Athenian vase-painting, but are found more regularly on Corinthian and South Italian wares. Several polychrome vessels in the form of the oinochoe are from the Athenian Agora.

Relief

Definition
Relief is a decorative technique applied in both Athenian black-figure (see Black-figure) and red-figure (see Red-figure) vase-painting in which clay is added to the surface of the vase. Relief can be used to show details of hair in the form of black glaze dots, or for jewelry, objects, and animal or human figures. For larger figures, the relief decoration is produced by pressing soft clay into a mold, similar to plastic vases (see Plastic), and then affixed to the still-moist surface using a slip. Examples of relief decoration also include applique heads on handle junctions and full figural scenes. Sometimes the relief may be accentuated with added colors such as white and gold (see Added Color).

Reserving

Definition
Reserving is the practice of deliberately leaving a figure or detail unpainted. The reserved surface is the color of the fired clay, such as the orange-red of Athenian black-figure (see Black-figure) and red-figure (see Red-figure) vases. The technique is used on some Orientalizing vessels (see Orientalizing) as well as in East Greek and Boeotian black-figure.

Semi-outline

Definition
Semi-outline is a decorative style that combines both outline and silhouette techniques (see Outline; see Silhouette). It can be applied to a single figure, or in varying degrees to different figures and details in the same scene. Semi-outline appears on Athenian black-figure vases (see Black-figure), such as on eye cups and Little Master cups, and on the Athenian white-ground (see White-ground) lekythos.

Six's Technique

Definition
Six’s technique describes figures painted in white, red, or pink silhouette on a black surface with their details incised (see Incised). Although giving the appearance of red-figure (see Red-figure), it is considered an example of polychrome painting (see Polychrome; see Black Polychrome; see Added Color). The technique is first used for full figures ca. 530 BCE and continues through the early 5th c. BCE. Mainly appearing on small vessels, such as the lekythos, its invention is attributed to the potter Nikosthenes (see Nikosthenes). Versions have been identified on vases from Corinth, Boeotia, and East Greece. The name derives from the Dutch scholar Jan Six who first described it in the late 19th century.

Stamped

Definition
Stamped describes the technique of using a mold-made terracotta stamp for decoration. Designs are stamped or impressed (see Impressed) into the soft clay surface of the vessel before it is painted. In Athens, stamped or impressed decoration first appears around the middle of the 5th c. BCE, perhaps in the work of the Sotades Painter (see Sotades Painter). The ornament generally consists of small and simple motifs, such as rosettes, concentric circles, palmettes, ovules, and tongues. Stamped decoration usually appears on the interiors of drinking vessels, some of which have red-figure on their exteriors.
