Collins style wine jug - Academic Art Museum of Bonn University

A Corinthian wine jug, collected at the Academic Art Museum of the University of Bonn, is a pottery piece produced in Corinth between 625 BC and 600 BC. Collins was a leader in pottery production at that time, and its products were widely exported throughout the Mediterranean region. The specific location where this pottery was unearthed is unknown. It is a pot with a three leaf shaped mouth edge and a sometimes upturned strap handle, which connects the mouth edge and shoulder. The black painting technique invented by Collins was used for drawing. It is an important type of ancient Greek pottery, and its design and decorative style reflect the prosperity of Greek culture and art.
