Greek ceramics are known for painting, in which a thin coating of black-firing clay covers the red clay of the vessel and details are scratched into the surface with a needle.

Black figure painting

Black-figure is a style in which black figures are drawn on a red background. It originated in Corinth during the 7th century BC, spread to other cities and regions, including Sparta, and reached Attica a generation later.
