Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons From Greek Pottery: To Which Is Added a Bibliography of Greek Ceramics The importance of the vases as mere works of art can not but appeal to the eye trained to appreciate lines of beauty. The graceful outlines that the potter's wheel produced are inimitable; the rich black and red lustre, that seems still to shine as brightly as it could have done when turned out of the workshop, defies reproduction; and throughout three centuries corresponding to the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries of Greek sculpture, advancement in the larger art may be traced in the lesser one; the styles in dress, the pose of the figures, the changes introduced in the compositions, are discerni ble in the vase-paintings, and the skilful hand produced in black, red, white, and violet, figures and scenes that may be looked upon as masterpieces of grace and ele gance.
