Description
Description: A pair of 19th century majolica alcove vases with oriental influence. Each has an octagonal domed lid with an oriental figural finial above a baluster vase. There are overall raised oriental figures, trees and pagodas. Double branch handles. Height: 17 in.
History: The region that defines Italian Majolica is a town in Umbria named Deruta. Deruta has produced Majolica since the 13th century. This area in Italy is popular because of the quality of the clay retrieve from the earth in this region. The clay was gathered from the hills in Umbria. This region still produces Majolica to this day. The superiority of the pottery made in this region has made Majoilca a collectible form of art. The name Majolica is used first as an adaptation of maiolica by Minton in 1851. The English variation of this pottery was showcased at an exhibition in 1860 at The Great Exhibition. U.S. followed suit and began production of this type of ceramic in the 1880's. Markings can be stamped on the bottom of the piece and some Majolica will have no markings.
