Name Vase (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In classical archaeology, a name vase is any of a number of specific vases whose creator''s names are unknown but from which the creator''s hand can be identified. The creator is conventionally named after the vase, or one of its distinctive features. The allocation of such names is necessary because the majority of vase painters did not sign their works. The discussion and analysis of the work and career of individual artists led to a need for conventional names to designate them. The name can refer to a vases motif, owner, find location, present location, inscription, potter, shape, and so on. For Athenian vases, the majority of such names were introduced by John D. Beazley, the first scholar to study them systematically; for South Italian vases, Arthur Dale Trendall played a similar role.
