Description

The core of this volume is the collection of Chian pithoi and pithos lids belonging to Angelos Vlastaris. The book also contains important ceramics from other collections, as well as a wealth of archive material. Its scope is not limited to the study of the pottery alone; it also aims to present a tangible picture of the great cultural and social flowering of Chios before the Massacre of 1822. The ceramics presented here were crafted in recent centuries but touch upon a medieval past. Their crude construction, their shape and their decoration are all features of Byzantine pithoi, attesting to an unbroken ceramic tradition. Their technical and morphological features indicate a standardised technological chaîne opératoire and a specific way of learning the craft. What is striking is the plethora of inscriptions, dates, Christian symbols and decorative motifs found on them. These ceramics express the general outward-looking spirit, the cultural and religious freedom of the period. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to a non-profit institution for the study and promotion of modern Greek ceramics. Published jointly by the John S. Fafalios Foundation and Kapon Editions. Substantially illustrated in colour and black & white. The text is presented in both Greek and English.
