Pottery was important to the Ancient Greek for storage. Everything from wheat to wine was stored in pottery. Pottery was made by shaping clay on a wheel, decorating the pot, and the heat the clay in a kiln. In early Greece(1000 to 7000 BC. Pots were decorated with geometric designs. The time period from about 700 to 550 BC influences from the Egyptian culture. From 550 to 300 BC, the dominant pottery style was Athenian. It showed Greek gods and goddesses as well as scenes from everyday life. The clay around Athene's had high iron content, causing it to turn red fired. The Athenians learned by painting the pots, they could make beautiful black and red pottery. Athenian pottery became very popular in Greece and across the Mediterranean region. In most cities, an area known as a keramikos was where potters located their shops. The cast of items was from one to drachmas. Vases cost between two three drachmas. Vases were ornately decorated, depending on the design, brought even more money.
