Griffen Smith & Hill Etruscan Majolica Overlapping Leaves Plate. Marked on base.

Majolica is a type of brightly colored, tin-glazed earthenware known for its vivid glazes and intricate, often whimsical relief decoration. Originating in the Renaissance period in Italy—where it was known as "maiolica"—this pottery style was influenced by Islamic ceramics and typically featured painted scenes, floral motifs, and geometric patterns over a white, opaque glaze. In the 19th century, majolica experienced a revival in England, especially under manufacturers like Minton and Wedgwood, who adapted the technique to mold-based designs featuring naturalistic themes such as fruits, animals, and foliage. These Victorian-era majolica wares were glazed in rich, translucent colors that pooled beautifully in the reliefs. While the term “majolica” is sometimes used broadly, it often refers specifically to this distinctive blend of artistic craftsmanship, vibrant color, and decorative charm that has captivated collectors and ceramic enthusiasts for centuries.
