Description
The Marion E. Byrd Majolica collection is a recent Forsyth acquisiition, donated in 2011. Known for its style based on use, Majolica was often designed to look like the food or object it was to hold, or featured plants, insects or animals as ornamentation. This Italian earthenware was popularized in the 19th century and valued both for its usefulness, its bright colors, tin-glaze, and for its whimsical appearance.
