Terracotta mug with lid 340 BC

This terracotta mug with lid, dating back to 340 BC, showcases the intricate decorative techniques of ancient Greek pottery. Its black-figure style, with its characteristic silhouettes filled in with black glaze, stands in contrast to the white clay background. The intricate geometric designs, floral motifs, and a stylized human figure demonstrate the skill and artistry of the anonymous maker. This vessel, now residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Greek craftsmanship.
