Die Werkstätten der arretinischen Reliefkeramik
Teil 1
The " Katalog der Punzenmotive in der arretinischen Reliefkeramik " (RGZM Kataloge Vor- und Frühgeschichtlicher Altertümer 38, 1-2 [2004]) is now followed by these two volumes on the workshops that produced relief pottery in Arezzo and the surrounding area from about 30 BC onwards.
The first volume analyses a total of 22 workshops, supplemented by a chapter on the potter Anteros, of whom we do not yet know for which manufactory he worked. The workshops have been completely reworked and their repertoire described in greater detail. There are also many hitherto unknown hallmark motifs, as well as new attributions that have been necessary in comparison with previous research, which, despite the scarcity of material from the Arezzo Museum, gives us a much clearer and more precise picture of the genre, and the repertoire of the individual workshops becomes richer.
The second volume contains a graphic representation of the name stamps and profiles known to date for each workshop, as well as the most important border motifs and the most common vegetal ornaments, which play such a decisive role in correct and reliable attribution. For a better understanding of the series of figures described in the first volume, the major cycles are also illustrated by means of numerous pictorial combinations and hitherto unique combinations of figurative and ornamental motifs.
