South Italian pottery is a classification for works produced throughout Magna Graecia. The five main centers of production for South Italian wares were, Apulia, Lucania, Paestum, Campania, and Sicily. Each colony developed upon earlier red-figure styles of painting and forms, with some taking the embellishments to new levels.
One of the most common shapes produced in Campania was the bail-amphora. This example is a good illustration of your typical campanian vase not only for its shape but for its use of bright added whites and shades of ochres, especially for the main woman's skin and additional objects.
