Archicles
Archikles ( ancient Greek Ἀρχικλῆς ) was an Attic potter and perhaps also vase painter of the black-figure style, who around 550 BC. Was active. Three signed works, all Kleinmeister bowls , have been preserved by his hand . He seems to have worked with the potter Glaukytes , because the Kleinmeisterschale 2243 in the Munich Collection of Antiquities has been signed by both masters.
