A TRADITION OF ITALIAN CERAMICS

Majolica is a traditional Italian pottery. The clay's white background comes from a tin oxide which has been in use for hundreds of years.
Unlike other art forms such as paintings or tapestries, the decoration remains unfaded, just as it was when it left the potter's workshop.
One of the major production centers during the Renaissance was the central region of Italy, known today as Tuscany.
The Majolica pottery carried here at Bella Stanza is derived from the same materials (clay from Tuscany), techniques and traditions that artisans crafted in Italy five hundred years ago.
