MAJOLICA

 The pottery that’s this season’s hottest must-have

majmag1 - Copy

Above is the October 2013 issue of the BBC Homes and Antiques magazine. Antique majolica is back in vogue, this season’s hottest must-have!

Ellie Tennant, the interiors journalist wrote the piece. She does a great job communicating the appeal of this magical ceramic. Ellie interviews well known figures for her article. Many of you will know Nick Dawes the author of “Majolica” from his Antiques Road Show appearances. Deborah English is a collector and scholar building a definitive online majolica library. Carol Harkess is another keen collector, President of the Majolica International Society and latest member of the ‘bunny club’.

The items displayed in the beautiful interiors photographed by Homes & Antiques were loaned by Madelena.

The article runs to seven pages and is very positive and enthusiastic about all the things that make antique majolica so incredibly appealing. We hope to obtain a pdf to share with you, but meanwhile here are some pictures to be going on with.

More great articles are to be found in the members library Majolica International Society

How marvellous majolica looks in the home!  Bright, fresh, quirky, a joy for persons of taste and discernment or just for beauty and fun.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I have a very large charger that I think is majolica. I bought it many years ago from an antique dealer in London, but it came with no information. I would really appreciTe some pointers, the scene looks mythological, as it has a woman in the centre of the plate that has her hands tied and around it a battle of some sort with horses, Spears and men all nude. Can you please help? I would like to send the photos but there is no option. Best regards,
    Nicola
