Large Majolica Ginger Jar

Originating in the 16th century, Majolica pottery is known for its signature milky-white glaze applied after the initial firing. This pottery category includes Spanish-influenced Talavera and Italian Maiolica as sub-genres. Mexican Majolica is distinct from traditional Talavera in its artistic form and color usage. While Talavera is famed for intricate patterns, Majolica often displays more spontaneous designs. Situated in the mountains above Guanajuato, the Santa Rosa workshop uses local Sierra de Santa Rosa clay, maintaining a tradition started by the Salazar family over 45 years ago. Today, the Salazar grandchildren handle all studio aspects, from clay sourcing to designing new styles. Every piece of Santa Rosa Majolica is a unique creation that brings artistry flair into your space. Our Flower & Hummingbird Majolica pots, jars, and vases cater to the most discerning tastes. These jars make memorable gifts, ideal for house-warmings or weddings, and serve as perfect accents in any room. Modern high-temperature kilns ensure each Majolica jar and vase has a chip-resistant and durable finish.
