Black Glazed Ware

Black-glazed ware is a fine category of ancient Athenian pottery produced during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. The modern term refers to vessels covered with a satiny black glaze or gloss, created through the sintering of an extremely fine clay paint or slip.

The cups and plates made at our THETIS workshop draw inspiration from ancient prototypes in the collection of the Athens Agora and reflect the simple elegance of Athenian tableware from the 5th to the 3rd century BC.

This collection is meant to be seen beyond decoration: these are objects of daily use, both beautiful and practical, suitable for drinking and serving.
