"Majolica Archaica" \u2014 Early Majolica.
\nIn the 13th century, the tin glaze technique was introduced from the Islamic world across the Mediterranean.
\nThis is the first time it has bloomed in Italian soil.<\/p>\n
The only colors you can use are copper green (lamina) and manganese brown.
\nEven before the vibrant, polychrome paintings of the Renaissance came into being\u2014
\nHere you will find the most primal expression of Italian ceramics.<\/p>\n
Orvieto, Viterbo, Pisa, Faenza, etc.
\nFired in kilns in cities of central Italy,
\nBirds, fish, deer, coats of arms, and plants were frequently depicted.<\/p>\n
At the bottom of the prospect, there was a single bird.
\nWith only two colors of brush\u2014green and brown\u2014
\nIt is depicted with a free and expansive style.<\/p>\n
This shape, with its two ears that open like a ring,
\nThe "Scodella" was a dish used daily on the tables of medieval Italy.
\nThese were everyday dishes used for serving soup or porridge.<\/p>\n
The white glaze on the tin gradually faded to a vanilla color over several centuries.
\nThe cracks covering the entire surface run like a fine map.
\nThe glaze has peeled off the rim and handle, revealing the color of the clay.
\nEach and every one of them is a record of the time this vessel has endured.<\/p>\n
Not inside a glass case in a museum,
\nThe work of nameless craftsmen, found on someone's everyday dinner table.
\nAnd now, after centuries, it has reached us here.
\nThat in itself is like a quiet miracle.<\/p>\n
Perfect for display shelves or windowsills.
\nIt's a tiny fragment of the Middle Ages that fits in the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n
Chipped, cracked, and dull\u2014
\nNone of these can be replicated by human hands.
\nThe kind of expression that can only be created over many years,
\nIt resides within this small vessel.<\/p>\n
