about the Geometric Style

The Geometric Style in Greek art dates to ca 900-700 BCE.


The decoration is formulaic, with the repetition of stylised motifs such as the zigzag, the triangle, the meander, and other linear and wave motifs. In addition to these abstract elements, vase painters gradually introduced stylised animals, birds, and human forms.


The literary counterpart would be the repeated epithets and formulaic phrases in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

about this pottery collection

This pottery collection is produced in Greece in the workshop of the Lioulias family, with whom It's All Greek is privileged and proud to have been working since 2004. They also produce our lovely Minoan pottery and fresco pieces, and a small collection of bronzes.
