The National Museums of Scotland's collection of Italian maiolica (tin-glazed earthenware) dates from the 15th to the early 20th century and includes examples by masters of Renaissance maiolica, such as five pieces from a service painted by Nicola da Urbino. This book discusses the history and production of maiolica and represents all the leading workshops and centres of production. Each entry is illustrated by one or more photographs and the introduction traces an outline of developments in shape, style and painting. Sources of inspiration to Renaissance artists are also discussed.

Historic Italian Renaissance Maiolica fan,

This review is from: Italian Maiolica in the National Museums of Scotland (National Museums of Scotland Information Series No 5) (Paperback)
This book has been very useful to me as a research tool for Renaissance Italian Maiolica. I especially love that this book includes multiple images of some of the pieces. It is nice to see what is on the bottom of a plate or on the back of a drug jar instead of having just a description. I wish that more of the images in this book were in color, but the black and white images are very clear. This book is very useful as a design reference.
