Bio:
Italian majolica has long combined vivid colours, ornamental motifs, and historical references. During the 20th century, many workshops adopted the decalcomania technique to achieve highly detailed and repeatable surface designs, later fixed by low-temperature firing. The result is decorative ware that preserves the traditional majolica aesthetic while reflecting modern production methods.
