<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 301883, member: 50&quot;]This won&#039;t really help I&#039;m sure but I did look through the book I have on Majolica without seeing this. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a collector of majolica but of older ceramics in a general way. These are very attractive but as others mentioned, I&#039;m bothered by the drippy interior glaze. It resembles many fairly modern pieces of glazed pottery I&#039;ve seen. Even more I&#039;m bothered by the base of the feet. They resemble some dark washed more modern pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing I&#039;ve found is that modern pottery made in the older majolica style sometimes has funny weight. Sometimes too heavy, sometimes too light but off somehow. That&#039;s impossible to guess from a photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s difficult to judge too much from photos but I&#039;d be reluctant to say these are 19th C based on my non-expert eye. If you&#039;re familiar with 19th C majolica perhaps you can be the better judge on whether there is the type of wear etc. that you might expect.</p><p><br /></p><p>No matter the age they are very decorative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
