Ceramics, majolica, and porcelain: the art of earth and fire
The history of ceramics is the history of humanity itself, an art that transforms earth into beauty through fire. This section of Nowarc, dedicated to a fundamental chapter of theantique trade, is a journey through the most important European and global manufacturers. From rustic majolica to translucent porcelain, each piece tells a story of technical innovation and aesthetic taste.
In Italy, Renaissance majolica from Faenza, Deruta, and Castelli reached sublime artistic heights with their "historiated" decorations. In the Netherlands, Delftware imitated the precious Chinese porcelain with its "blue and white" motifs. But the real revolution was the discovery of porcelain in Europe in the 700th century in Meissen, followed by renowned manufacturers such as Sèvres, Vienna, Capodimonte, and Ginori. Each production center developed its own unique and recognizable style, color palette, and decorative motifs.
