About Victorian Majolica:
Defining Attributes - Victorian majolica are refined wares (usually earthenware) characterized by brilliantly colored glazes and elaborate molding in high or low relief. Glaze colors varied; many vessels were molded with naturalistic motifs including seashells, insects, plants and animals.
Chronology - Victorian majolica, initially patterned after tin-glazed pottery of the Italian Renaissance, was first introduced in Great Britain at London’s 1851 Great Exhibition. It was popular by the 1860s in England and enjoyed its heyday in the 1870s and early 1880s. By the 1870s, almost every British pottery counted Victorian majolica among its products, with over 130 British firms eventually producing these wares. Most majolica produced by the smaller British firms was unmarked. Majolica was also manufactured in North America (as early as the 1870s) and in Continental Europe, including Austria, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Belgium and Hungary.
The craze for majolica in North America did not occur until after its initial appearance at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. In early 1878, a Staffordshire industries publication reported great demand for majolica in America, with the height of popularity in the United States falling in the 1880s.
Fabric and Ware Type - The paste of Victorian majolica is usually white earthenware, but sometimes stoneware or Parian pastes were used. Coarser grades of majolica were made with a terracotta paste.
Glaze - Bisque fired wares were covered with an opaque white lead glaze before being painted with or dipped in the thick, brightly colored metallic oxide glazes that created the characteristic vibrant colors of majolica.
Form - The numerous vessel forms produced in Victorian majolica can be divided into useful and ornamental categories. Functional vessels included tablewares and toiletry-related items. Toiletry vessel forms included dresser sets, ash trays, smoking sets, trinket boxes, spittoons and match holders. Ornamental garden forms included garden seats, jardinières, umbrella stands and flowerpots. Tiles and other architectural ceramics molded in low relief were also manufactured.
