Abstract
Summary.The suggestions that Greek decorated pottery was cheap, and that in trade overseas it can be regarded as little more than ‘saleable ballast', are refuted by demonstration of its relative value, by weight and by volume, beside that of other commodities for which comparable evidence is available. From this its profitability may also be deduced.Keywords
