Tleson
( Active around 555-535 BC) was an Athenian potter Tleson and perhaps vase painter of the black-figure style. He was the son of the famous potter Nearchos and brother of Ergo Teles.
Tleson is considered a " classic " little masters. In his workshop Little-master cups were made apparently mostly. Most of his work he had painted by the painter Tleson not known by name, now named after him. Because up to now carry all painted by this artist vessels only the signature of Tleson itself, John D. Beazley put forward the theory that Tleson and Tleson painter could be identical. A proof does not exist. A few works he left by other artists, such as Oltos and the Centaur Painter, decorate. In his signature he always calls his father: Tleson ho Nearcho epoiesen.
