A singlemost typical form of each main period is here show^n, to illustrate the entirely different ideas which pre-vailed. Forms, —In the prehistoric age many of the formshave no marked brim. The bowls, conical cups, andjars simply end at a plain edge, like this marked Pre.Brims were more usual in the later prehistoric age.A great variety of fancy forms appeared—doublevases, square bottles, fish, birds, or women weremodelled ; and as the whole pottery was handmade, such were no more difficult to make than circularforms.
