maiolica

Giorgio was a statuary as well as a painter of maiolica, several of his sculptures in marble being yet extant.

If not the most ancient, Faenza was one of the most celebrated of the manufactories of maiolica in Italy.

According to Passeri there were fabriques of maiolica at Forlì in the 14th century.

As an example of Venetian maiolica, circa 1700, see Fig. 25, a plate painted with an architectural subject.

Francesco Saverio Grue, a man of letters and science, became about this time director of this Neapolitan maiolica fabrique.
