Caeretan

Refers to a very distinctive style of Black-figure pottery, most of which comprises hydriai dating from around 530 BCE to around 500 BCE, found in Etruria, and very probably made at Caere (modern Cerveteri, near Rome, Italy). The drawing style is of very high quality, the painting style is remarkably colorful, and the form and decoration of the hydriai differ from contemporary examples produced elsewhere in the Greek world. Decoration typically includes lotus, ivy wreaths, palmette friezes, and mythological scenes.
