Early Greek Vases and African Colonies

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

Under the above title are included a few remarks upon certain classes of early Greek vases which have been, rightly or wrongly, associated with Naucratis or other Greek colonies in the north-west of Africa. If some parts of the discussions which follow are somewhat controversial in tone, I can only plead the nature of the subject in excuse.

A familiarity with the vase-fragments from Naucratis such as could only be gained by handling them and examining them repeatedly has induced me to distinguish with some confidence classes of vases that were made at Naucratis from those that were not: and I therefore wish to correct or confirm certain views that have been expressed upon this question before they pass into handbooks as accepted facts.

page 127 note 1 I know only of two in the Louvre, perhaps one in the British Museum, and one at Berlin. Perhaps others exist; but they cannot be many. Fragments of a Naucratite vase have also been found by Dr. Gräf among the pottery on the Acropolis at Athens: otherwise I do not know of exported examples.
