Pottery in ancient Greece does not have a single inventor; it evolved over time through the contributions of various cultures and artisans. The earliest forms of Greek pottery can be traced back to the Neolithic period, around 6000 BCE, influenced by earlier civilizations like the Minoans and Mycenaeans. By the Geometric period (circa 900-700 BCE), Greek pottery began to develop distinctive styles and techniques, with notable advancements during the Archaic and Classical periods. Prominent potters and painters, such as Exekias and EuphroniOS, later emerged, but pottery itself was a communal craft refined over centuries.
