Crito (potter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crito was a Greek potter, active around 530 BC. In Athens .

He is only known for his signature on a clay-ground band of an otherwise black-faced jug of a special shape between Olpe and Oinochoe from Cerveteri , today in Warsaw, National Museum 14249 (formerly Goluchow , Czartoryski Collection Inv. 98).

After him, John D. Beazley named the Kriton group , which, in addition to the vase he signed, also consists of three other jugs of the same shape and decoration: a jug of Lysias in Paris, Louvre F 339; a fragmented jug of Priapus in Athens, National Museum Akr. 833 as well as another jug ​​from the Athens Agora P 17807.
