You will be delighted with our majolica figures designed by Russian artist, Natalia Pavlova, an award winning professional sculptress and artist. Natalia’s visions are crafted from clay, dried and then placed in a kiln to receive its first baking at over 750 degrees C. The next step in the process is what sets majolica apart from other common forms of pottery. A special chemical is used to coat the majolica that will later react to the glazing that is put on and acts as a form of bonding to keep the glaze on the majolica giving it the distinctive shine for which it is known. The painting process which gives majolica its exquisite beauty is a true process of artistic excellence. The artist has to be aware that the colors painted on to the pottery will change after the majolica receiving its second firing. Predicting exactly what color the majolica will be later on is something that only comes with extensive experience.
Natalia is assisted by a staff of over 20 highly trained artists and each item is always glazed, hand-painted and fired in the traditional style of Italian Majolica. No decals or resin copies are ever produced.
