Drury E. Fortnum is a scholarly treatise on the history and techniques of Italian ceramics written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the development of maiolica, a type of tin-glazed pottery, tracing its origins, manufacturing processes, and artistic evolution over centuries. It also provides insights into the cultural significance and variations of pottery that emerged from various Italian regions. The opening of "Maiolica" introduces readers to the fundamental concepts and terminology related to the potter's art, including terms like "botega" (a workshop or studio) and "fabrique" (a pottery establishment). It outlines the ancient history of pottery, highlighting the transition from simple clay vessels to more sophisticated glazed options. Fortnum extensively references early cultures such as the Egyptians and Assyrians, emphasizing how techniques for glazing evolved and spread, eventually influencing Italian artisans. He also categorizes pottery into distinct classifications based on materials and techniques, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of maiolica's rich heritage and craftsmanship.
