The
Majolica Renaissance Collection is the most sophisticated
majolica-ware from Tuscany and it is noted for its stylized
portrait of heads and figures as shown in our all new
Majolica Renaissance Collection.
In the renaissance era, these masterfully hand painted
vessels, were exchanged as gifts among the noble families as
they were often commissioned to depict a family member and
also exchanged in special occasions between lovers for
wedding or anniversary occasions. |

These Majolica pieces are true
classic from Montelupo (Tuscany) and an Artistica’s
exclusive, created using the now rare technique called 'Ingobbio'.
Prior to first firing, a glaze obtained from a clay of
different color is applied only on the exterior part of
the object.
This ancient Tuscan process produces an authentic 'Old
World' look, and adds significant body to the colors.
You can actually feel the consistent (almost raised)
body of the painting when gently passing your hand over
decorated parts.
Due to the complexity of both
preparation and painting, this technique is now used by
very few artisans, which makes these items very hard to
find. |
