FAQs

Victorian majolica is a type of earthenware featuring colourful lead-glazed designs, popularised during the mid-to-late 19th century following its introduction at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Majolica is crafted from moulded earthenware clay, finished with an opaque tin-lead glaze coloured with metallic oxides to achieve vibrant hues.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit crazing in the glaze, moulded factory or registration marks on the underside, weight appropriate for earthenware, and hand-finished details.

These whimsical objects serve as focal points on open shelving, sideboards, or mantels, adding colour, texture, and character to curated spaces.

Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water using mild soap if necessary, avoiding harsh abrasives, dishwashers, and prolonged direct sunlight to protect the glaze.
