Marine Style Pottery

Marine Style Pottery refers to a distinctive artistic tradition found primarily in ancient Greek pottery, particularly from the 7th century BCE. Characterized by its swirling patterns, fluid shapes, and depictions of marine life, such as fish, shells, and waves, this style emphasizes a vibrant connection to the sea. The pottery often features a vivid color palette, with blue and black hues predominating. Originating during a time when maritime trade was flourishing, Marine Style Pottery reflects the cultural significance of the ocean to those societies, embodying both artistic expression and a connection to their environment.
