Xenocles (potter)

Edge bowl, around 540/530 BC Chr.

Xenocles ( Greek Χενοκλῆς ) was an Attic potter in the middle of the 6th century BC. Chr.

Xenocles mainly made bowls that were decorated by minor masters , especially by the Xenocles painter named after him , who is possibly identical to the potter. His name is known from numerous signatures. Undecorated pottery has also come down to us from Xenocles, including ribbon bowls .
