Majolica
Majolica. The fired piece was bathed
in this preparation and was put into the oven using a three-footed base
which prevented the ceramic from sticking during firing. On this glassy
covering, the surface of the piece was decorated with metallic oxides;
the mark of the craftsman was placed on the piece and later it was fired
again. The production of majolica with gilded drawings had been made in
Spain since the Arab period.
