white ground technique
White-ground technique is a style of ancient Greek vase painting in which figures appear on a white background. It developed in the region of Attica, dated to about 500 B.C.
==Technique and style==
In white-ground pottery, the vase is covered with a light or white slip of kaolinite. A similar slip had been used as carrier for vase paintings in the Geometric and Archaic periods. White-ground vases were produced, for example, in Ionia, Laconia and on the Cycladic islands. But only in Athens did it develop into a veritable separate style beside black-figure and red-figure vase painting. For that reason, the term ''white-ground pottery'' or ''white-ground vase painting'' is usually used in reference to the Attic material only.
The light slip was probably meant to make the vases appear more valuable, perhaps by eliciting associations with ivory or marble. However, in no case was a vessel's entire surface covered in white slip. It has also been conjectured〔See Tiverios and Tsiafakis, ''Color in Ancient Greece'', 2002, for a survey of opinions on this.〕 that this form of painting emerged in order to emulate the more prestigious medium of wall painting, but the thesis has been elusive of proof. Furthermore, the group of five Huge Lekythoi (ca. 70-100 cm high) are covered entirely in white slip, which suggests an imitation of marble lekythoi for funerary purposes.〔Kurtz, ''Athenian White Lekythoi: Patterns and Painters'', Oxford 1975, p.69-70; Schreiber, ''Athenian Vase Construction: A Potter's Analysis'', Malibu 1999, p.183.〕
White-ground vase painting often occurred in association with red-figure vase painting. Especially typical of this are ''kylikes'' with a white-ground interior and a red-figure exterior image. White-ground painting is less durable than black- or red-figure, which is why such vases were primarily used as votives and grave vessels.
