Definitions

Impressed describes decoration that is added by impressing or stamping (see Stamped) designs onto the surface of the vessel before it is painted. In Athens, it first appears around the middle of the 5th c. BCE perhaps in the work of the Sotades Painter (see Painter). The ornament generally consists of small and simple motifs, such as rosettes, concentric circles, palmettes, ovules, and tongues. Impressed and stamped decoration usually appears on drinking vessels.
