After the initial shaping, artists would use various tools to carve or paint the story onto the pot. For the painting, they might use natural pigments. The making process was very meticulous as these pots were not just containers but also works of art. The potters and artists had to be skilled in both creating the basic shape and then decorating it with the story elements.

Typically, it was made using the potter's wheel. The potter would shape the clay into the desired form, like a vase or a jug. Then they would let it dry a bit before adding any details.

The clay used was carefully sourced. It was then kneaded and worked on the wheel. Once the main shape was done, if it was to be painted, the paint was applied in thin layers. Firing was also an important step. The pot was fired in a kiln at a specific temperature to harden the clay and set the paint, if any. This whole process required a great deal of knowledge and experience passed down through generations in ancient Greek society.

I Was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments? Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over. The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned! It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbours. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life. In summary, this other world was――at peace. What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home. However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and……

The color can also be a characteristic. Bright colors might be used to represent happy parts of a story, while darker colors could signify more somber events. In addition, the composition matters. If the ceramic piece has a scene with a clear beginning, middle and end, it's effectively telling a story. For instance, a ceramic mural that shows a journey from a village, through a forest to a castle is clearly narrating a travel adventure. Also, the texture can play a role. Rough textures might be used for a wild or dangerous part of the story, while smooth textures for more peaceful elements.

Greek art that tells a story influenced later art forms in multiple ways. In architecture, the decorative elements on Greek buildings that told stories, like the friezes, inspired architects in different periods. For example, neoclassical architecture in the 18th and 19th centuries often included frieze - like elements with scenes from Greek mythology. In painting, the color palettes used in Greek art to represent different elements of a story, such as the use of red for passion or blue for the divine, were sometimes adopted. The way Greek art focused on the human figure in storytelling, whether in sculpture or on pottery, also influenced how artists in later times portrayed characters in their own narrative works. It led to a continued emphasis on the expressiveness of the human body in art.
