Phoenician pottery

Phoenician pottery refers to the ceramic art produced by the ancient Phoenicians, a maritime civilization known for trade and craftsmanship from around 1500 to 300 BCE. Their pottery is characterized by vibrant colors, intricate designs, and often features both practical and decorative items, such as vases, plates, and storage containers. They utilized advanced techniques like glazing to enhance durability and visual appeal. Distinctive motifs, often inspired by nature and mythology, reflect their cultural influences. Phoenician pottery not only served daily needs but also played a key role in trade, helping to spread their artistic styles throughout the Mediterranean.
