Ceramics - Red and Black Figure Pottery

Follow the link below to find out more about red and black figure Greek pottery.  During the firing process and if oxidation (smoke) occurs, the smoke can turn the unglazed portions of the pot black.

The site is from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
