Beazley Archive Pottery DatabaseThe BAPD is the world's largest database of ancient Greek painted pottery (‘Greek vases’). It contains records of more than 130,000 ancient pots and 250,000 images. Nearly all of the pots included were made during the 6th to 4th centuries BC, and about three quarters of them were made in Athens.

The great majority of its images were collected by the great pottery expert, Sir John Beazley (1885-1970).
