Bilingual pottery (or, in the singular, a bilingual vase) is a term used to denote pottery from amongst the earliest Attic vases which present on one side the earlier black figure style and on the other the later red figure style, sometimes showing with the same scene. They show a time of style-change, and may have been due to the uncertainty of the market for the new, red-figure style. These works were only produced for a short time due to the popularity of the red-figure technique. Example of bilingual vases are known to have been produced by the Andokides Painter, the Lysippides Painter, Oltos and Psiax.
