Italian maiolica owes its special distinction to its racial origin, the locality of manufacture being, after all, an accident. It is from the affinities of design, of technique and execution, joined to a just appreciation of the influences, near and distant, which have moulded and shaped its form and fashion, that any one of its many phases stands revealed in its true essence, and it is only by the careful study of these particulars that its veritable history may be rightly traced. H. W. INTROD...UCTION. ^ I ^HERE is pro1)al)ly no phase of Italian ceramic art about which such a diversity of opinion has been expressed, re- specting its derivation and date, as that represented by the group of vases ilhistrated in figs. 1-41.

Their remarkable decorative qualities were at once recognised, but their principle of design pre- sented small analogy with other known forme of the art.
