<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4401011, member: 33&quot;]In searching &quot;sand majolica&quot; I found a description on etsy saying that the word &quot;barbotine&quot; is a term used for the type of flower application that this appears to be. The sand majolica does appear to be similar but different to the item in the original post. I&#039;m just commenting on the &quot;barbotine&quot; term.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Barbotine is the French for ceramic slip, or a mixture of clay and water and used in slip casting. This technique was employed in 19th century French and American pottery. Slip or barbotine is cast in molds to form three-dimensional decorative sections which when dried out are added to the main vessel.Typically, flowers, fruit, or small animals.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/102749035/vintage-majolica-sand-vase-with?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=nla_listing_details" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/102749035/vintage-majolica-sand-vase-with?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=nla_listing_details" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/102749035/vintage-majolica-sand-vase-with?show_sold_out_detail=1&amp;ref=nla_listing_details</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s how a Wikipedia article explains barbotine. Now I&#039;m not positive if it is the same.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbotine" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbotine" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbotine</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
