Faenza ceramics (ceramica di Faenza) is a type of Italian maiolica traditionally produced in the city of Faenza, in Emilia-Romagna. The very term faïence, used in several languages to indicate glazed ceramics, derives from the name of Faenza itself, testifying to the international diffusion and recognition of its production between the 16th and 17th centuries. Faenza ceramics are characterized by painted decorations on a white glaze, often with Renaissance, naturalistic or geometric motifs. Wikipedia →
