The catalogue lists over six hundred examples in black-figure, red-figure and black glaze. Special attention has been paid to style, patternwork, and profile in order to identify new potters and painters, their interconnections, and their chronological framework. The central chapters study the evolution of the volute-krater in the Athenian potters' quarter from the late seventh century until the middle of the fourth. The first chapter sketches the background from which the first Attic volute-kraters emerge, as well as discussing ceramic volute-kraters made in other Greek potteries in the sixth century, including Sparta, Corinth, Northern Greece and Reggio di Calabria. This dissertation traces the developments in shape and decoration of one of the grandest mixing vessels made in Athens from the late seventh century B.C.
