	Black-figure pottery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The black-figure pottery technique is a style of ancient Greek pottery painting in which the decoration appears as black silhouettes on a red background.
		Black-figure pottery typically depicted figures in silhouette, but it was somewhat limited in artistic scope due to the limitations of engraving tools.
		The most common was a yellowish-white derived from a purified iron-free clay, and a purplish-red derived from the same refined clay used to produce the black areas mixed with ochre (red iron oxide) and water.

	Red-figure pottery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Red-figure pottery is a style of Athenian pottery, later adopted in Southern Italy, in which the figure outlines, details and the background are painted black, while the figure itself is not painted.

		Red-figure pottery is considered to mark the apex of Greek pottery, as most vases or cups famous today for their skillful painting are in the red-figure style.
