Book condition : very good. - Cafaggiolo majolica, Italian tin-glazed earthenware produced during the early 16th century under Medici patronage in the castle of Cafaggiolo, in Tuscany. The decoration of Cafaggiolo ware is mostly derived from other leading Italian factories, particularly Faenza; but its execution reveals individual, unique artistry. Characteristics of the ware are a rich and even white glaze, a deep red, and an intense lapis lazuli, which was often used as a coarsely brushed background; bright yellows, oranges, and reds and a semitransparent copper green were also used. Forms include armorial jugs and double-handled jars - both especially vigorous in overall decoration - and drug pots. ISBN 9788870380521.
