FAQs

Majolica pottery gained immense popularity during the Victorian era after being introduced by Minton at the Great Exhibition of 1851, characterised by colourful lead-glazed earthenware featuring vibrant hues and ornate moulded designs.

Majolica pieces are crafted from earthenware clay, hand-painted or sponge-decorated with metal oxide colours over an opaque white tin glaze or directly onto a coloured clay body, then fired to achieve a glossy finish.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit factory impressed marks or pattern numbers on the base, fine crazing in the glaze consistent with age, weight appropriate to earthenware, and hand-finished detailing within the moulded relief.

Such pieces can be displayed on a bookshelf or mantelpiece as a colourful focal point, or utilised functionally as a vase for dried florals to introduce historical texture and rich colour palettes into contemporary spaces.

To preserve antique ceramics, hand wash them gently in lukewarm water using mild detergent when necessary, avoiding soaking, harsh scrubbing, dishwashers, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent glaze fading.
