Ceramics - Red and Black Figure Pottery

Follow the link below to find out more about red and black figure Greek pottery.  View the slideshow.  During the firing process and if oxidation (smoke) occurs, the smoke can turn the unglazed portions of the pot black.  Comment below with an original thought.  Do not repeat ideas.
