Re: Archaic majolica albarelli...?

[Nick Pelling <incoming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Quick clarification: the Secretary of the Majolica Society tells me that, 
when referring to 15th/16th century tin-glazed earthenware, it should be 
called "maiolica" - "majolica" (with a "j") generally refers the same kind 
of thing but Victorian or later.

She's also passed me some contact details for some ceramics historians, 
which I'll be following up very shortly. Books:-

"Italian Maiolica" by Julie Poole:-

Links:-
Pretty much everything you'd ever need to know about Renaissance maiolica 
(with several good good bibliographies), though doesn't really cover 
archaic maiolica:-
