| Description : | Leaf shaped plate. Etruscan Majolica Leaf Plate |
| Commentaires : | Etruscan Majolica was a brand name given to the earthenware pottery created first by Griffen, Smith and Hill, then later manufactured by Griffen, Smith and Company; Griffen, Love and Company; and Griffen China Company, of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania in the years between 1879 and 1892. Identification One of the easiest ways to identify true Etruscan Majolica is by the color. The Etruscan Works used a very limited palette in creating their majolica. For one thing there is no turquoise in the Etruscan palette. Whenever you see a turquoise piece advertised as Etruscan, you know it's either a fake or wrongly attributed. All Etruscan glazes have a clear, transparent quality to them. The company was famous for the pastel glazes they used--another way to recognize real Etruscan majolica. The long time collector will recognize an Etruscan glaze on sight. The glazes are also quite true to the design they are representing. If you see very runny glazes with little or no definition, run in the other direction! The underside is also an easy way of telling true Etruscan Majolica. During the eleven years that the company was in production they only used three underside treatments for their multicolored pottery: solid white; yellow and green sponged; and the most common, brown and teal-grey mottled. Any pottery with a treatment other than this is not Etruscan. |
