Majolica is a type of decorative pottery covered with a white, opaque tin glaze that provides an ideal background for hand-painted designs. Traditionally, it features vibrant colors such as cobalt blue, green, yellow, and brown, often arranged in floral, geometric, or figurative patterns. The technique originated in the Italian Renaissance, and the name comes from the island of Majorca, through which this style of ceramics was introduced to Europe. Over time, majolica became popular in Germany, France, Spain, and other countries. One of its defining characteristics is the firing process, in which the glazed pottery is kiln-fired to permanently fix both the color and decoration.

Keramik Weber Köln was a German ceramics workshop active in the mid-20th century, known for its production of decorative and utilitarian ceramics. The factory specialized in hand-painted designs inspired by folk art and majolica traditions, often using bold floral patterns and colorful glazes. Pieces from Keramik Weber are today appreciated by collectors for their distinctive character and representation of post-war European decorative arts.
