Maiolica (also spelled Majolica) is the beautiful ware prepared by tin-glazing earthenware and firing it a second time.
After the first firing, the bisque is dipped into a bath of fast drying liquid glaze. When dry, the glazed piece is ready to be hand painted. A final firing at 1700° Fahrenheit will make the glaze interact with the metal oxides used by the craftsmen to create the deep and brilliant translucent colors specific to maiolica.
The rise of Italian maiolica in Europe was fast and reached its peak of artistic quality throughout central Italy during the Renaissance period of 15th and 16th centuries.
