Cuinn:

'''Maiolica''' has been defined as “Italian [[tin-glazed]] [[earthenware]] dating from the [[Renaissance]]. The name is thought to come from either [[Majorca]], an island on the route for ships that brought ceramic ware to Italy from [[Spain]] ([[hispano-moresque]]) in the 1400s, or from the Spanish term [[obra de Malaga]] that means to describe something as “imported [[Malagan]] wares. During the Renaissance, the term Maiolica referred solely to [[lusterware]], including both Italian made and Spanish imports, but eventually the term came to be used when describing ceramics made only in Italy, lustered or not, that were earthenware covered with a tin glaze . The tin glaze produced a brilliant white when fired, giving artists an opaque surface to paint over.

'''Pottery''' refers to objects made from fired clay.

Drinking vessels and [[jug]]s were primarily made of these materials and would have been some of the most common items on the [[European]] [[medieval]] [[table]]. In later times, imported ware from [[China]] and [[Islamic]] countries would inspire the immensely popular [[maiolica]] ware of the [[Italian]] [[Renaissance]].

Ceramic tableware is less common in the [[SCA]] than metal or wood pieces, as they are harder to find in appropriate styles and many people (incorrectly) fear that ceramic dishes are too fragile (thinking that they will always break when dropped on a hard surface). However, in the [[West Kingdom]], the [[West Kingdom Potters Guild]] has formed to demonstrate to the populace that historically accurate styles are possible and practical (much easier to clean than wood, for example).
