Majolica is a special type of pottery that people make by using a white base and applying bright colors for decorations. This kind of pottery is unique because it has a shiny coating made from tin glaze.
When potters work with majolica, they first shape the clay into different objects like plates, bowls, or vases. After that, they cover the pottery with a white glaze that makes it smooth and shiny. Once the glaze dries, they use special paint to add colorful designs that can be anything from flowers to patterns.
After everything is painted, the pottery goes into a kiln, which is a very hot oven. The heat makes the glaze hard and shiny, and it locks in the beautiful colors. This is what makes majolica so special and eye-catching!
In summary, majolica is a fun and creative pottery style that combines a smooth white finish with vibrant painted art, making it popular for both daily use and special occasions.
