The first comprehensive study of the most important ceramic
innovation of the 19th century Colorful, wildly imaginative, and
technically innovative, majolica was functional and aesthetic
ceramic ware. Its subject matter reflects a range of 19th-century
preoccupations, from botany and zoology to popular humor and the
macabre. Majolica Mania examines the medium's considerable impact,
from wares used in domestic settings to monumental pieces at the
World's Fairs. Essays by international experts address the
extensive output of the originators and manufacturers in
England-including Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones-and the
migration of English craftsmen to the U.S. New research including
information on important American makers in New York, Baltimore,
and Philadelphia is also featured. Fully illustrated, the book is
enlivened by new photography of pieces from major museums and
private collections in the U.S. and Great Britain.
