专家说明

Tleson was a potter specializing in Little-Master Cups. J.D. Beazley considered that the majority of Tleson's cups were the work of one painter, whom he called the Tleson Painter. According to J. Boardman (Athenian Black Figure Vases, p. 60), "Tleson is the classic Little Master, no doubt painter and potter, and always naming his father, the painter Nearchos, in his signatures." P. Heesen (Athenian Little-Master Cups, p. 178) lists 237 cups and fragments attributed to the potter Tleson, the Tleson Painter or both, with lip-cups by far in the majority.
