design is reproduced on PI. IV. 11. In one respect it differs from the
ordiuary beaked jug; the handle is not of the usual type, p. 94, but is flat
like that of a duck-vase.
6. IV. 12 is a specimen of a type which is more common in painted
wäre (p. 101). The mouth is pinched in on either side. The handle is
attached in the normal way (see p. 94). The same type occurs among the
unpainted wäre from Chalandriane ('E0. 'A.p%. 1899, PI. IX. 6).
7. We found one or two cups of the same shape as sect. 6, No. 11, but
with a dark lustrous surface instead of the usual painted designs. IV. 10
is shaped a little differently, but it also has a parallel among the painted
cups (VIII. 11).
This list is, of course, not intended to include all the vases that have a
lustrous coat of red, brown or black, but only to exhibit one homogeneous
group of the early geometric period. There are earlier and later varieties
both of burnished and of glazed potteiy and they cannot all be lumped toge-
ther in one class. Many other lustrous-faced vases will be pointed out in the
course of the present chapter, either as small separate groups or in connection
with the larger groups to which they are most closely akin. The practice of
decorating pottery with a lustrous monochrome coat was in constant use
throughout the whole period covered by the Phylakopi finds.
General JRemarks.—It is unnecessary to dwell on the resemblances
between the above vases and the pottery of the neighbouring islands; close
resemblances together with local distinetions are what we expect to find, and
are exactly what we do find. The parallels from Hissarlik are of more signifi-
cance. As regards forms we find at Hissarlik the pjrxis with narrowing sides
(Ilios, No. 294) as well as the other kind with the enclosing lid (//., No. 231);
the beaked jug is common property over the Aegean area, and the type of jug
represented by PI. IV. 12 is not without its Anatolian parallel; one of the
few duck-vases previously known came from Hissarlik (2Vo/ci, p. 216); and
lastly we meet with various speeimens of animal-vases and ring-vases like
3 and 4 in idea, althousdi a g'ood deal different in execution. The ornamenta-
tion of our vases is identical with that of the Trojan pottery in technique
and very similar in style. Passing over the simpler elements of geometric
design we may compare V. 10 with Ilios, No. 72 and V. 5 with Ilios,
No. 1951 ; we may compare also the man on V. 8c with the animals on
the Hissarlik whorls, especially for the way in which the eyes and testicles
are respectively rendered ; finally, the stippled patterns on the Phylakopi
pottery are obviously related to those oii the earlier Trojan wäre. It is just
at this period that the Cycladic pottery has most in common with that of
Hissarlik.1 After the introduetion of painted patterns it draws farther and
farther away from its earlier Asianic and European connections.
