Etruscan pottery

Etruscan pottery refers to the ceramic wares produced by the ancient Etruscans, a civilization that thrived in central Italy from about the 8th to the 3rd centuries BCE. Known for their distinct styles, these potters created both functional and decorative pieces, often featuring intricate designs, vibrant colors, and detailed figures. Their pottery included everyday items like bowls and storage jars, as well as artistic offerings for funerary practices. The Etruscans were influenced by Greek pottery, and their work provides valuable insights into their culture, rituals, and interactions with neighboring societies.
