Description
Pair of early Majolica plates
Approximate dimensions: diameter of plates 13.75 inches
(Wiki)Pottery known as majolica is the mid- to late-19th century Victorian style made by a process (painting and then firing) whereby coloured lead silicate glazes were applied directly to an unfired clay mould, typically relief-moulded, resulting in brightly coloured, hard-wearing, inexpensive wares that were both useful and decorative, typically in naturalistic style. This type of majolica was introduced to the public at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, later widely copied and mass-produced.
