Pamphaios was an Attic potter towards the end of the 6th century BC. Chr.

Pamphaios was the successor of Nikosthenes in his Athens pottery workshop and thus the successor of one of the most influential and creative ceramists of antiquity. Probably shortly before 510 BC. He took over the Nicosthenic workshop and continued the tradition of his predecessor by continuing to manufacture the typical products, such as the Nicosthenic amphora or the Nicosthenic pyxis and the Chalcidic bowl . Sometimes he developed these forms even further. In contrast to Nikosthenes, however, Pamphaios relied much more on vase painters of the red-figure style , who at that time replaced the old black-figure style . He continued to employ many of the painters of Nicosthenes, including well-known artists such as Oltos , Epiktetos and the Nikosthenes Painter .
