For the first time, bucchero vases are the subject of a complete study. The bucchero black vases form an exceptional documentation which is extremely large and varied, indicating the initial phases of western iconography and writing which testifies to the cultural exchanges with the Greeks and Phoenicians. This publication allows an initiation to this world of shapes, and geometric or figurative decoration. The readers will find an exhaustive view of the diverse aspects of this national ceramic material of the Etruscans which includes exceptional pieces as well as more common standardized ware. This text gives elements indispensable for an understanding of the origins of bucchero as well as its evolution and diffusion.
