The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Majolica is a type of tin- or lead-glazed earthenware introduced in the mid-nineteenth century, characterised by brightly coloured relief decoration and popularised by Minton at the 1851 Great Exhibition.

Minton majolica was formed from earthenware clay pressed or cast into detailed moulds, after which colourful, translucent lead glazes were applied directly to the unfired or biscuit body before a single or secondary firing.

Authentic items typically feature impressed Minton factory marks, date codes, and shape numbers on the underside, alongside distinctively vibrant glaze combinations and precise relief moulding.

A majolica centrepiece serves as a striking focal element when positioned on a sideboard, dining table, or mantelpiece, introducing historical texture and rich colour to contemporary or classic spaces.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid immersing the piece in water, as moisture can seep through glaze crazing and damage the porous earthenware beneath.
