Definitions

en
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.
