South Italian ancient Greek pottery
Okay, so you know how you have cups and bowls at home that are made out of clay or pottery? Well, people in a place called South Italy a really long time ago made cups and bowls too, but they were really special because they were decorated with pictures and designs.
These cups and bowls were called ancient Greek pottery because the people who made them spoke a language called ancient Greek. They made them by shaping the clay into the right shape and then baking it in a special oven called a kiln.
The pictures and designs on the cups and bowls were really cool! They showed things like gods and goddesses, animals, and even scenes from stories. The people who made the cups and bowls used special tools to put the pictures and designs on them before they baked them in the kiln.
Today, some of these ancient Greek pottery cups and bowls are still around and we can learn a lot about what life was like a really long time ago by looking at them!
