CVA : GB 16, Scotland 1

This is the latest British fascicule in this major international project that aims to illustrate all the ancient Greek pottery in public and private collections. The commentary gives up-to-date descriptions of each vase (with measurements), bibliographies and pointers to comparative material. The large format allows all pieces to be fully illustrated with new photographs, and there are profile drawings of the more interesting shapes, as an aid to the study of potting as well as painting. This is the first CVA fascicule devoted to a Scottish collection. The Royal Museum of Scotland has 200-300 vases - a few already well known, but most as yet unpublished. The range is wide, including Bronze and Iron Age Greek, classical Attic, archaic Corinthian, Etruscan, South Italian, Daunian, and bucchero.
