FAQs

Victorian majolica is a type of colourful, lead-glazed earthenware that gained immense popularity during the mid-19th century, particularly showcased at the Great Exhibition of 1851 by makers like Wedgwood.

Majolica is crafted from earthenware clay covered with an opaque tin-lead glaze, onto which metal oxide pigments are painted before being fired at high temperatures.

Authentic pieces typically feature characteristic moulded relief decoration, vibrant translucent coloured glazes, and often bear maker marks, registry diamonds, or impressed factory ciphers on the underside.

Antique majolica can be displayed as striking wall art using specialized plate hangers or arranged on open shelving to introduce rich colour, texture, and historic character to a modern kitchen or dining room.

Antique majolica should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent when necessary, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, and abrasive sponges to protect the delicate glaze and prevent crazing.
