What is Majolica?
By admin | May 9, 2008
Majolica (Maiolica in Italian) is a decorated tin glazed earthenware, low fired and decorated over an opaque tin oxide glaze. The firing temperatures allow for the brilliance of colors.
Most of the ceramic villages are located along the riverbanks where there are natural clay deposits and this clay makes the product special and of finer quality then other kinds of ceramics. Poggi Bonsi. LLC imports from small family workshops in Italy located in Deruta, in Umbria and Montelupo, in Tuscany, and Abruzzo. Our French ceramics are made in the villages of Vallauris and Mougins in the south near Cannes. Each Ceramic region has an intrinsic style and history.
At www.poggibonsigifts.com we have a large selection of Italian Ceramics from which to choose.
