Majolica is the beautiful ware prepared by tin-glazing earthenware and firing it a second time.
After the first firing, the bisque is dipped into a bath of fast-drying liquid glaze. When dry, the glazed piece is ready to be hand-painted. A final firing at 1690° Fahrenheit will make the glaze interact with the metal oxides used by the painter to create the deep and brilliant translucent colors specific to majolica.
This technique originated in the Middle East in the 9th century. By the 13th century, majolica ware was imported into Italy through the Isle of Majorca, the headquarters of the trade between Spain and Italy. The Italians called it Maiolica, erroneously thinking it was made in Majorca. They were fascinated by this new way of making ceramics and soon started to copy the process, adapting it to their own creativity and traditions. The rise of Italian majolica in Europe was fast and reached its peak of artistic quality throughout central Italy during the Renaissance – late 15th and early 16th centuries.
This vintage set is by a master of Italian ceramics- the Cantagalli family. Maker’s mark on the backside.
