hand-painted vases & plates

- all shapes, sizes and subject-matter!

Vases are one of our most important sources for understanding ancient Greek culture, history, everyday life, mythology and iconography. Our ever-growing collection of replica ancient Greek vases at It's All Greek comes to us from three of our fifteen Greek suppliers. 

Christina, our own vase-painter and our main vase supplier for over a decade now, specialises in red-figure and white-ground items, as well as the entire collection of plates. The quality of Christina's drawing is outstanding in its detail. Every gesture, every eyelash, every movement: skilfully drawn by hand. From miniatures to large-scale museum reproductions, her work is exceptional. We supplied her pottery and vases to 'Alexander' and 'Troy' and to several documentaries about ancient Greek vase-painting.

Our second supplier produces the black-figure, Corinthian, geometric and Minoan pottery. Whilst these items are not 'drawn' like Christina's, they are hand-painted and have a slightly different finish.

Our third supplier, Christos, specialises in producing a small number of Greek vases which are designed to look as though they are the real thing - fresh out of the ground, or, in some instances, 'mended' too!
