Terracotta focolare (offering tray) with utensils Etruscan, bucchero pesante, ca. 550-500 BC Accession # 96.9.145a-i Large rectangular or circular offering trays made of bucchero are typical tomb gifts in the Chiusi region. Normally, they contain a variety of small vessels, spoons, spatulas, palettes, and other utensils that may be associated with the preparation of food or cosmetics. Some scholars have suggested that these items imitate, on a miniature scale, the more expensive banquet sets in bronze or silver. Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.

Pitcher with Incised Decoration Unknown Etruscan, 625 - 600 B.C. Terracotta 7 7/16 x 4 9/16 in. 86.AE.395 With its dark, shiny surface, Etruscan bucchero pottery is quite distinctive. Developed about 675 B.C. from a local pottery tradition, bucchero is made from clay with the impurities removed. The pots are thrown on a potter's wheel, burnished, and then fired in a kiln with little oxygen, which produces the dark color. Much bucchero pottery appears to imitate metalwork, with its smooth, shiny surface, angular shapes, and incised or relief decoration. This bucchero oinochoe, or pitcher, shows the influence of artistic ideas from the eastern Mediterranean that poured into Etruria in the 600s B.C. as a result of trade. The row of animals and plants--including panthers, grazing goats, and birds--is very similar to the decoration found on vessels made from gold and silver imported from Egypt and the Near East, which have been found in the tombs of aristocratic families. Etruscan potters reinterpreted the decoration of these precious vessels in the less expensive material of terracotta. Text from: www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artObjectDetails?artobj=14346

Pitcher with Incised Decoration Etruscan, 640-620 BC Terracotta Bucchero olpe Etruscan decorative motifs were often influenced by luxur goods imported from around the Mediterranean region. Animal friezes like those incised on this pitcher also appear on Near Eastern gold and silver vessels. The shape and the scale pattern on the shoulder were derived from Corinthian pottery, which may have also inspired the popular motif of the dog attacking the boar.
