Technical problems
There seem to be some problems with this article. I don't know enough to correct it, but I do know that the substance applied to the vases is terra sigillata, not "paint", and it is not "burned" in the firing. The article on black-figure pottery looks like a much better technical description of a similar subject. —Michael Z. 2007-07-31 14:56 Z
Extension
I have extended this article, mostly by translating the counterpart from German wikipedia. The previous commentator is rigght as regards "burned". "Fired" is the word normally used. His or her reference to terra sigillata is not correct. That term described a type of Roman mould-made pottery and is entirely unconnected to Greek red-figure vase painting.
There are currently a lot of redlinks in the article. I will try and start articles for as many of them as I can in the near future.
It would be useful if someone could replace the references from Boardman, here gicing page numbers in the German translation, with those from the original English. The DNP references should stay as they are, as that source, albeit in German, is one of the main key reference works internationally.
