figured. Purple and red accessories are employed, and occasionally also black-;
incised lines are fairly common.

The first four phialae, B 682-5, form a class by themselves, and may be
compared with a series of fragments found on the Acropolis of Athens in 1886,
also with Naukratis, I. pi. v, 1. As the fragments from the Acropolis arc
earlier than the Persian war, these phialae must also be older than that date.
B 683-5 were found in the Troad, and may be compared with earlier Rhodian
phialae from that source in the Museum ; the ornamentation is the same, but
in the earlier ones the designs are painted in black on a pale red ground.

The technique of these vases reappears in the late Apulian style of the
third century B.C., of which numerous examples are known, painted with a white
slip on a black ground.

For vases of this style, see Six, in Gas. Arch. 1888, pp. 193-210, 281-294.
