The collection of maiolica at The Wallace Collection is one of the most important in the world. There are numerous works from Urbino, as well as many fine examples from the other major centres. Smaller groups of Hispano-Moresque, Palissy, German and Isnik wares are also fully catalogued in this pioneering work. The catalogue is especially valuable for its essay on the history of the taste such wares.
