Black figure pottery was the style of pottery in which figures were painted in silhouette. Red figure pottery became popular after black figure pottery. In red figure pottery red paint is used on a black background.
The Greek pottery style that prominently featured silhouettes is known as the "Black-Figure" style. In this technique, figures and scenes were painted in a black slip on the natural red clay of the pottery, allowing detailed incised lines to represent features and details. This style was popular from the 7th to the 5th century BCE. It contrasts with the later "Red-Figure" style, where the background is painted black and the figures remain red.

Sancai pottery was commonly used for figurines, ceramics, and burial objects, reflecting the era's artistic innovation and cultural exchange along trade routes.
