@After Corinthian workshop introduced Orientalizing style,
East Greek workshops followed this new style earlier than
Attic and other regions in the second quarter of the seventh
century [1]. Although some geometric patterns
retained on the earlier examples, orientalizing patterns such
as a cable pattern were gradually introduced. The most typical
decoration is the frieze of animals, such as wild goats, deer
and waterbirds, as well as monsters such as sphinxes.
While Corinthian workshops invented black figure technique,
East Greek painters drew figures with outline, which made
their figures more lively. Figures in this period, however,
still retain silhouette of geometric style except for the
heads. It is also noticeable that less filling ornaments are
depicted than later wild goat style pottery.
Some Ionian workshops introduced outline technique and painted
the figures with white [2]. This technique
was rarely used by followers. Most common shape is oinochoe
with stout body and straight lip. They also painted on amphorae.
This style developed into wild goat style in the later half
of the seventh century and retained until the sixth century.
The workshops were attributed to Rhodes, since first known
vessels are found from there [3]. Recent
clay analysis revealed that these were not produced at Rhedes,
but at South and North Ionia and Aiolis.
