Notes This is the earliest preserved vase with the signature of the potter Andokides. Thus it constitutes a most important piece of evidence concerning the beginnings of the artist from whose workshop the red-figure technique emerged. It shares features with vases of Nikosthenes and Group E. The shape and the allocation of ornament—the zone of ivy for instance—testify to an independent artistic personality.
