Fig 29: Border-decoration on a dish from the manufactory at Pesaro...The earthenware called 'majolica' in all probability derives its name from the island of Majorca, where glazed pottery was extensively manufactured, especially by the Moors, and whence this art found its way into Italy. In our days the term 'majolica' is generally applied to all finer fayence-ware, when executed with more care than coarser pottery i. e. to such earthenware, the main substance of which is potter's clay covered with nontransparent glaze, and coloured'. Plate 55 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
