The earliest examples of majolica—brightly colored, low-fired earthenware—first emerged in the 1400s amid the Italian Renaissance. The use of a colorful tin glaze on ceramics was an innovation that Italian ceramic artists adopted from techniques they observed on Spanish imports. Over the course of the centuries that followed, majolica fell in and out of favor due to the changing tastes and styles of each era, but it reached its zenith during the 19th century when Europe’s leading ceramic factory, Minton Company, commercially introduced majolica wares in 1851.
