Fragment from the Base of a Bowl https://www.artic.edu/artworks/92604/
Fragments of Byzantine pottery preserve decorative motifs that were placed on the base of each pot’s interior. They represent a range of geometric and abstract floral motifs - such as the multicolored starburst preserved on this fragment- that were created by cutting through the white slip, or glaze, to reveal the red earthenware beneath. This technique of engraved slipware is known as sgraffitto. Color washes in a range of greens and browns were then placed over the incised decoration. First developed in the eleventh century, this combination of sgraffitto and color washes remained a defining feature of fine Byzantine pottery for several centuries. Later Byzantine pottery such as this circulated throughout the eastern Mediterranean. Over time, it competed with an increasing number of imported ceramics of Italian, Islamic, and even Chinese origin. The technique and decorative motif seen here continued to be used in regions of Greece, Anatolia, and the Balkans during the Ottoman Empire (15th–20th century), thereby outlasting the Byzantine Empire itself, which ended in 1453.ed Anonymous Fund

This lovely fermenting jar is soon to be on its way home. Pro-tip: when drawing circles use a compass, the top is sgraffitto and I used a compass, bottom is Mishima and carved sans compass...

My very first time doing sgraffitto! Really had no clue what I was doing but doing the process fun and somewhat relaxing.

I could figure out what to do with three smaller pieces I had thrown. So, I tried sgraffitto for the first time and it was very fun. I thought it would be much harder.
