History of Cantagalli Pottery:
The Cantagalli kiln, founded in the 15th century by Antonio Cantagalli in Florence, Italy, produced these beautiful ceramics. In the 19th century the Cantagalli family began to reproduce 14th, 15th, and 16th century maiolica. Those reproductions themselves became collectors items. Cantagalli ceramics may be found in the Bargello museum in Florence, the Louvre in Paris, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Maiolica is Italian terracotta, a fired red clay, decorated and coated with an opaque glaze. Its origins are Arabic, and it was imported to Tuscany in the 12th century. As a hand made craft, pieces show anomalies in shape, color, and surface texture.
The Cantagalli factory closed in 1985. The Cantagalli registered trademark is a legal property of the Menegatti family.
