The emergency name S-Töpfer is used in archaeological research to identify a potter from the period between 440 and 410 BC who is not known by name . Called BC.

The S-potter got its emergency name from the archaeologist Adrienne Lezzi-Hafter after the Shuvalov painter , who had painted a significant proportion of the works assigned to the S-potter. The works, which are mainly oinochoes , but also hydria , amphorae and pelicas from the period between 440 and 410 BC. Chr., Were assigned to a potter's hand due to the special shape of the mouths and vase feet. The vessels that he made that were not pitchers, he still provided with feet and mouths of oinochoen. The shapes of the S potter are reminiscent of the potter of a jug in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (inventory number 06.1021.189), which the Mannheim painter had decorated. Lezzi-Hafter named him M-Töpfer after the Mannheim painter . Because of the similarities in shape, and because the Mannheim painter was an older fellow in the workshop of the Shuvalov painter, it can be assumed that the S potter was a student and at times employee of the potter from New York. In addition to the Shuvalov painter, the painter from London E 208 , the Alexandre painter , the Eretria painter , Aison , Polion , the painter from Munich 2335 , the painter from Louvre G 443 and painter of the Owen genus also decorated vases of the Keramikers.
