1]) is of two colors, a warm yellow, and a cold bluish green.

The green predominates in the upper, the yellow in the under portion; but there is a certain amount of blending or mottling in the mid-region, which has a very pleasant effect.

A similarly mottled character is presented by two other amphorae from the same place, where the general hue is a yellow which varies in intensity, and the mottling is with a violet blue.

In some cases the colors are not blended, but sharply defined by lines, as in a curious spouted cup figured by Mr.Layard, and in several fragmentary specimens.

Painted patterns are not uncommon upon the glazed pottery, though upon the unglazed they are scarcely ever found.
