One of the spelling words. I had a lot of trouble finding out much about it. It descibes a type
of ceramic apparently made almost excusively by the Etruscans. It is uniformly all black, and
the color was produced by second firing under reducing conditions, so that the black color
is that of carbon, not of a metal in the glaze. For a sample see URL:

I found many interesting words about ceramics in the search, but suppose nobody else is
likely to be interested in those words. The URL shows a "kantharos" a four inch high
drinking cup, with very large handles almost like rabbit ears. The Etruscans must have
been "two fisted" drinkers. The handles seem way out of proportion to me.
