Ancient Greek pottery designs

Pottery is made of tough stuff and through the survival of fragments under the earth, we were able to paint fuller pictures of the Ancient World and its societies.

Ancient Greek pottery, largely vases, featured elaborate decoration often portraying imagery that:

• reflected people's roles in society;
• portrayed scenes in daily life;
• told stories of Ancient Greek myths and legends;
• told stories of battles and war.
