The following linkspages provide historical examples of some of the pre-17th century styles of maiolica; see the additional links for more information on these styles, and on the history of maiolica. The Getty also has a video on making maiolica.

Many of the maiolica pieces in these links have been classified into one style or another based on my observations of the piece from its webpage.

• Maiolica arcaica
• Zaffera a rilievo
• Stile severo
• Stile bello
• Stile istoriato
• Belle Donne

For now, these links focus only on actual maiolica – that is to say, tin-glazed earthenware – later linkspages may delve into lead-glazed earthenware, incised slipware, etc.
