Majolica

For around 170 years, majolica figures and tiles have been produced in Nymphenburg by hand using traditional methods. The terracotta is coated with a white tin glaze after the initial firing and painted with bright colors. During the subsequent firing, the colors and glaze merge, the reddish background shimmers delicately through the glaze. Thanks to the development of special colors and glazes, Nymphenburg has succeeded in producing a resiliant surface and can guarantee its longevity due to frost and weather resistance. The extraordinary size and bright colors are among the special characteristics of the Nymphenburg majolica, which are unrivaled on an international level.
