Pamphaios

Pamphaios was an Attic potter active around the end of the 6th century BC. Pamphaios was the successor of

black-figure vase painting. He also continued to employ many of the painters that had worked for Nikosthenes, such as Oltos, Epiktetos and the Nikosthenes Painter
.

Pamphaios signature survives on more than fifty vases – spelled different ways by various artists, it probably functioned as a trademark on his workshop's products.[1]
