see Desborough

PGP 116; Smithson

Hesperia xxxvii (1968) 98 ff. The only example at Fortetsa (there pl. 36 no. 543

PGB?) is handmade. But cf. Vrokastro pl. 31

two wheel-made kalathoi from Chamber Tomb 1

where the latest vase (there pl. 33) looks contemporary with Knossian LPG. Our piece is still PG in fabric and technique: perhaps LPG or PGB.
