MAJOLICA

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MAJOLICA , a name properly applied to a
species
  of Italian
ware
  in which the
body
  is coated with a tin-enamel, on which is laid and fired a painted decoration. It is also applied to similar wares made in imitation of the Italian
ware
  in other countries. The word in Italian is majolica. Du Cange (
Gloss
 . s.v. "Majorica") quotes from a chronicle of Verona of 1368, in which the form majolica occurs for the more usual Latin form majorica. It has usually been supposed that this type of pottery was first made in the
island
  of
Majorca
 , but it is more probable that the name was given by the Italians to the lustred Spanish ware imported by
ships
  hailing from the Balearic Islands. (See
CERAMICS
 :
Medieval
  and Later Italian.)
