FAQs

Maiolica is a tin-glazed earthenware technique that originated during the Renaissance, characterised by a opaque white background painted with oxide pigments before firing. It frequently features classical motifs, grotesques, mythological scenes, and vibrant cobalt blue, yellow, and green glazes.

These lamps consist of hand-thrown earthenware bodies finished with a tin-glaze surface and hand-painted mineral pigments. The ceramic vessels are mounted onto cast brass or bronze decorative bases and fitted with metal lamp sockets.

Authentic pieces display characteristic tin-glaze crazing, brushstroke variations from hand painting, and unglazed terracotta clay visible at the raw base edges. Older examples often show heavy cast brass fittings and traditional electrical components.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a dark timber sideboard, console table, or bedside drawers provides balance and visual interest. Complementing them with simple linen lampshades softens the ornate classical decoration for contemporary schemes.

Dust the ceramic surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth and clean glaze using a slightly damp microfibre towel without harsh chemicals. Unlacquered brass fittings can be polished with a specialist metal cleaner, ensuring fluid does not contact the glazed earthenware.
