Keyside class

The Keyside class (English Keyside class ; German translation about class of the key pattern edges ) is a class of Attic - black-figure Oinochoen that was established at the end of the 6th and beginning of the 5th century BC Was manufactured. The unusual key pattern from which it was named was only painted on two of the decorated vases as a border ornament.

The painters who decorated these vessels were still working in the black-figure technique when the red-figure technique had already predominantly prevailed.
