Shapes

The General Bibliography contains reference works on pottery shapes (asterisks indicate sources that are especially useful), and highlights some of the approaches in recent scholarship. The shape-specific bibliographies are designed for the specialist, but make no claim to completeness, and users' additions would be gratefully received. Many of the more recent volumes of Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum also contain relevant information about particular shapes.

For bibliography prior to 1935, see Richter, G.M.A., and Milne, M.J., Shapes and Names of Athenian Vases (New York, 1935).
