What is Italian majolica?

Majolica refers to tin-glazed pottery that features a white background with brightly colored hues painted on top. The colors are applied as underglazes or to the unfired glaze and then fired to hold them in place forever. This technique was widely used in the Renaissance period in northern and central Italy.
