Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Greek Etruscan and Roman Vases In the present catalogue the Museum of Fine Arts desires to offer to archaeologists an exact description of the vases in its classical collection, and to the general public some assistance in learning to appreciate the qualities which give Greek vases an interest possessed by few classes of ancient monuments. The accomplishment of this twofold task is difficult within the limits of one book, and especially so when the size and character of the book are restricted, as those of a catalogue must necessarily be. The technical description of a vase, in the formulas now universally adopted in archaeological works, is dull if not incomprehensible to those who are not specialists in the subject; whereas the attempt to stop and explain, in every case, why this or that fact is noted, would undoubtedly lead to confusion in one class of readers, and exasperation in another, and would moreover prolong the descriptions indefinitely. Therefore the book has been divided into two parts, - the Catalogue proper, which has been prepared primarily for those who make a special study of Greek ceramics, that they may be informed of what this museum contains; and an Introduction, intended for those who are interested in the subject, but know little about it. In the latter are included a resume of the history of Greek pottery, with descriptions of the different types, an account of the manufacture of Greek vases in the best periods of the art, and a list of the Greek potters whose names survive. For the illustration of characteristics which are described or alluded to, reference is constantly made to vases in our collection, to which the Introduction therefore serves in some degree as a guide or commentary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases and of the Greek and Roman Lamps: In the Nicholson Museum, University of Sydney The Collection were presented to the University of Sydney by Sir Charles Nicholson, formerly Chancellor of the University. They were found, probably, in different parts of Italy, but the exact locality has been noted only in a few instances. In earlier days vases such as we have here were known as Etruscan vases, because Etruria was the first country where they were found in great abundance. Their true name is Greek Vases, and only a very few can be strictly called Etruscan. In our collection the Etruscan vases proper are 45 and 46, and possibly some of the early black incised and the late black stamped ware may have been made by Etruscan potters. Greek vases have been found, generally, in tombs, and one class in particular, the white Athenian Lehythoi were produced solely for funeral purposes. But painted clay vases were used constantly in ordinary Greek life, as, indeed, we can see from the shapes adapted to their different purposes the skyphos, the kylixy and the cantharos, for drinking cups; the aryballos, for holding oil or perfume; the crater, or mixing bowl the lekyihos, for pouring oil; the otnochoe, for wine and so on. The examination of Greek decorated pottery shows a successive development through many stages. Between the 7th and 3rd centuries, B. C., when the art of vase painting ceased, the history can be clearly traced: and, though the dates cannot be fixed more than approximately, from the fact that the different styles of colour and design overlap each other, there is no difference of opinion among authorities as to the period within a few years to which any vase or class of vases belongs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, Vol. 1: Part II., Cypriote, Italian, and Etruscan Pottery When the present Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum was planned, in 1891, Volume I. Was assigned to the vases then exhibited in the First Vase Room, which are for the most part of an early date, and represent the beginnings of Greek Vase-painting in many places and styles. The subsequent growth of the collection, especially in the sections dealing with Crete and Cyprus, has made it necessary to divide the volume into two parts, the second of which is the first to be ready for issue. Volume I., Part II., deals with the pottery of Cyprus, the early Italian fabrics, and the Etruscan pottery in the strict sense of that term. Some preparations were made by Sir Cecil Harcourt Smith, now Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, but the second part of Volume I. Is mainly the work of Mr. H. B. Walters, Assistant Keeper of Greek and Roman Antiquities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
