Book Synopsis
With the exception of early Egypt and Minoan Crete, no early culture had such a vigorous stone vase-making industry as the Cyclades. For each vessel type, Pat Getz-Gentle considers the material used, the size range, the formal characteristics and variation, and manufacturing methods.

Trade Review

“This valuable, detailed, and pleasingly presented technical analysis is well written, and contains superb illustrations.”

—Choice


“Getz-Gentle has firsthand experience with great numbers of Cycladic objects, and she has an extraordinarily acute sensitivity to style. This work is the natural companion to her previous work on the Early Cycladic figures, and it is essential to the scholarly world that it be available. There is nothing comparable to its completeness and approach in any language.”
