Ancient Greek Pottery Kraut

A Krater is a large pottery from ancient Greece, often used to mix wine and water. A kraut with a red patterned column refers to a column with a red pattern painted on the pottery. This pottery was made in the Camarina (Camarina) region of Sicily between about the 5th century BC and the 4th century BC. This Klatt style of decoration is known as the Red-figure style, which was very popular in ancient Greek pottery. The red painting style is characterized by the use of red paint to draw patterns on a black background, making the patterns more vivid and detailed.
