East Greek vase painting

In spite of the region's wealth, the pottery was rather unremarkable in comparison to other areas.

Rhodes also produced large vases, including tall-footed kraters.

The distinguishing feature of East Greek vase painting were diagonally hatched meanders, triangles and rhomboids.

By the end of the Geometric period, vases were often covered in a white slip, onto which the paint was applied.

Especially in Ionian vase painting, regional styles now began to develop.
