The colorful earthenwares known as Majolica are popular once again,
part of the nostalgic revival of Victorian taste in interior
decoration. Majolica's long history begins with Italian Renaissance
tin-glazed wares; over the centuries its styles and techniques
spread to France and England. With the advent of mechanization, the
wares could be mass produced. Majolica became popular among the
rising middle class in England, Europe, and the United States. This
book presents a new analysis of Majolica set against its
cultural-historical background. Hundreds of forms in dozens of
patterns, especially American and British ware with a sampling of
European pieces, are displayed in over 550 color photographs. The
text presents new research and the examples are individually
identified by style, pattern, maker, size, and date. Short
histories of the manufacturers are presented as they relate to
Majolica wares. The up-to-date price guide will be a valuable tool
for collectors and dealers.
