 There are 11 black figure vases and one fragment that are painted by the same hand and bear a signature that reads, "Amasis mepoiesen" meaning "Amasis made me", indicating the artist Amasis as the potter of these works.As all 12 works were decorated by a single painter, some scholars have assumed that the potter and painter were one and the same.However, since the 1971 attribution of a signed work by Amasis to the hand of the Taleides Painter, connoisseurs are reminded to distinguish between the potter Amasis and the Amasis Painter with care.
