Abstract

This article showcases two cheap and non-invasive methods for authenticating “Greek” figured vases, archaeological study and macro photography. It uses the case of a pseudo-Attic vase in a private collection in Gorizia that is compared with some authentic specimens from the Civico Museo di Antichità J.J. Winckelmann of Trieste to argue that such methods might play a major role in telling apart authentic and spurious engravings and calcareous concretions and in exposing the forger’s modus operandi.
