[edit]In the English language, defined by the South Kensington Museum (V and A today) in the 1870's in two booklets, in the simplest terms Majolica is lead glaze, Maiolica is tin glaze. Starting with the USA could other countries authorities be persuaded to agree? Dictionary definitions persist in treating the two words as interchangeable. THEY ARE NOT. One describes lead glaze pottery, the other describes tin glaze pottery. You only have to look at the two categories to see how different they are. I am a newbie to Wiki so please tell me what I should do next to advance the cause of clarity.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidmadelena (talk • contribs) 11 February 2015 (UTC)
