This style of earthenware featured vibrant, colorful glazes and naturalistic relief designs, often depicting flora and fauna. British and European manufacturers produced majolica wares for both decorative and functional purposes, with bird and nest motifs being particularly popular themes that reflected the Victorian fascination with nature.
