FAQs

A pilgrim flask, or costrel, is a ceramic vessel characterized by a flattened body and lateral loop handles traditionally used for carrying liquids on journeys. Italian majolica versions from the 18th century adapted this historical form into decorative tin-glazed earthenware decorative objects.

18th-century Italian majolica was crafted using terracotta earthenware coated with an opaque white tin glaze. Hand-painted decorations were applied using metallic oxide pigments, such as cobalt blue, copper green, and antimony yellow, before a final firing.

Authentic pieces display characteristic wear around the rim and pedestal base, fine glaze crazing, and evidence of hand-painted brushwork. The tin glaze produces a soft milky-white background with subtle surface irregularities distinct from modern industrial reproductions.

An antique majolica flask serves as a prominent focal point when displayed on a fireplace mantelpiece, open bookshelf, or console table. Its intricate form and polychrome palette complement both traditional country interiors and modern eclectic spaces.

Clean historical earthenware gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or light dusting brush. Avoid immersing the item in water, using abrasive cleaning agents, or placing it in direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the original glaze.
