Shown here are vases dating to mid to end of sixth century (500s BC) and they reflect the new style of red-figured vases. The red-figure technique was invented around 530 , quite possibly by the potter Andokides and his workshop. It gradually replaced the black-figure technique as innovators recognized the possibilities that came with drawing forms, rather than laboriously delineating them with incisions.
