Main Article Content
Abstract
This study deals with the contribution of Greek and Armenian Christians
to the painting and making pottery in Asia Minor in the distant and recent
past, up until 1922, when they were obliged to migrate in the fall of 1922.
This study is based on: a) the international literature on the subject; b)
published ceramics from museums and churches with Greek or Armenian inscriptions with manifest greco-christian decorative motifs ; d) unpublished ceramics similar in a way to the above; e) personal evidence from the multitude
of Greek potters who came to Greece after 1922 and contributed to the growth
of the ceramic industry in their new country. A bibliography on the subject is appended.
