The shape repertory includes bowls, cups and mugs, strainers and jugs, lekanae with vertical or horizontal handles, craters, table amphorae and possibly hydriae. In Halka Bunar the grey ware of the Classical period, as in many other neighbouring sites, it has been found within ritual or domestic pits, and it seems to develop in continuity with that of the Archaic period. Based on the grey pottery from the site of Halka Bunar, municipality Bratya Daskalovi in the south-eastern Bulgaria, the present paper intends a general overview of this class of pottery in inner Thrace, known already since the Archaic period and with documented relations with the Aeolid and the area of the North Aegean Sea.
