MAJOLICA. THE manufacture

of Italian Pottery

as Majolica or RafFaelle

the patronage of the

ware

was

Urbino

family,

generally

many

foi

known

years under

and was principally

carried on at Urbino, Gubbio, Pesaro, Castel Dnrante, Faenza

and

Dim

c.i.

The ware

is

coarse

and

bar],

but

it

is

valued for the

decorations, which are from designs by RafFaelle, Michael Angelo, Guilio Romano, and other great masters; and some are thought to be painted with their own hands.

Marryat says

:

" It

was the usual custom

for the Artists

to write the title of the subject, in blue characters

back of the

dish,

but rarely to

affix their

on the

names and place

of

The examples given will, it is hoped, be sufficient the identification of such marks as may be met with in

abode." for

duplicate,

those that arc given in type are too large for
