Attic vases are ancient Greek pottery, primarily produced in the region of Attica, particularly in the city of Athens, during the 6th to 4th centuries BCE. These vases are known for their distinctive black-figure and red-figure techniques, which involve painting figures and scenes on the clay surface. The vases served various purposes, including storage, serving, and burial. The artwork on Attic vases often depicts scenes from mythology, daily life, and athletic competitions, showcasing the skill of ancient artisans. They are valuable for understanding Greek culture, art, and social practices, and many examples are housed in museums around the world.
