Canosiner pottery
The so-called Canosiner vases are a genus of Apulian vase painting . They were made between 350 and 300 BC. Chr. Produced. They were probably only intended for the sepulcral area.
The water-soluble colors are a special feature of the Canosiner vases. The painting on a white background was carried out in shades of blue, red, pink, yellow, light purple and brown. Volute craters , kantharoi , oinochoen and askoi were particularly popular . Often female figures were shown, which were painted standing on a small pedestal. In addition, the decor was often provided with plastic winged heads, gorgons and similar motifs. The pictures often show Niken , sidecars, battle scenes, Naiskosdarstellungen and female wing shapes. There are also quite a few vases that were only decorated with ornaments. The main sites were Canusium (now Canosa ), after which the vases were also named, Arpi and Ordona .
