NEW | Maiolica Porcelain Collection from Lapicida

12 Jun 23

Brought to Southern Spain during the Moorish period, the Majolica method of decorating pottery brought rich, vibrant colours to terracotta, particularly floor and wall tiles. The ancient technique uses already fired clay, covering it with an opaque glaze-base and then decorating it using bright colours. The clay is then fired once more, achieving a glossy, water-resistant surface. Highly ornamental, these designs became incredibly popular throughout the Mediterranean and were used to decorate palaces and churches amongst other interior settings. 

Lapicida’s new ‘Maiolica’ collection of porcelain tiles perfectly recreates the look and feel of original Majolica tile designs, bringing a touch of history and Mediterranean charm to modern interiors. The collection consists of six blue & white patterned tiles and a complementary white tile, all of which can be mixed and matched to create unique styles and schemes. Highly versatile, the collection is suitable for walls and floors both indoors and outdoors.
