Majolica

Majolica is a type of ceramic pottery known for its bright colors and intricate designs. It originated in the 15th century, initially in Italy, and has since evolved in various forms across Europe and beyond. The process involves applying a tin glaze to earthenware, which creates a white, opaque surface that serves as a canvas for colorful, often detailed decorations. Majolica items can include dishes, tiles, and decorative objects, frequently featuring floral or mythological themes. Its vibrant artistry makes it popular among collectors and is cherished for its historical significance and craftsmanship.
