Some Things to Know When Buying Majolica Ceramics
What is majolica? Majolica is glazed pottery often associated with certain regions of Italy, although it is also produced in other parts of the world. Majolica ceramics are distinctive for their unique degree of quality and artisanship. The name majolica was derived from Majorca, the port from which majolica originally was traded. Italian Majolica and Italian Ceramics are world renowned because of their master artisanship and durability. The name itself is a sort of misnomer since majolica was not actually created in Majorca but simply traded within the city.
Majolica ceramic pieces usually come from a variety of sources. Italy has a long-standing tradition in the production of ceramics and pottery dating back to the 13th century. During the Renaissance, a small town in Umbria called Deruta, made use of the special clay from the Umbrian hills to establish itself as the center for the production of majolica and Italian pottery. This status for Deruta is still recognized by collectors the world over today. The superior majolica produced at this time have maintained the respect of the past even though many pieces today are intended for everyday use instead of strictly art pieces. The majolica tradition continues in Deruta today, as well as in other parts of Italy.
Since Majolica ceramic pieces were made with high attention to quality many of the very old pieces are still being displayed today and quite usable. Italy is not the only place one can obtain quality majolica ceramics pieces. The trade name is not indicative to where the highly crafted pieces are made, but how they are made. Majolica is available from just about any country in the world. Antique majolica can usually be pinpointed back to an Italian origin. The Italians are credited for perfecting the processes used in creating genuine majolica and the knowledge spread throughout the world. Since majolica is made worldwide, it is much easier for imitators to attempt to sell fraudulent ceramic pieces passing them off as majolica. It is important to get concise details on the pieces you purchase not to be scammed by an imitator trying to pass off second Hand painted ceramics.
