This section is about a city called Corinth, which was on the bridge of land between Athens and Sparta.
Corinth made beautiful pottery, all decorated without any paint! Instead a watery clay mixture was used. When the pot was baked in a kiln, the areas painted with clay mixture turned black. Unpainted areas turned a light brown or reddish brown colour, depending on the type of clay. For 200 years the Corinthians sold their pottery all over the Greek world, and Corinth became a wealthy and busy trading centre.
