Guided tour of the exhibition Slovenian Majolica

Majolica has a special status in the Slovenian tradition. It has become, so to speak, a mythological object, closely connected with the identity of the Slovene nation. As a symbol of good and happy company, it is sung by folk songs.

Many people know the handles for wine – majolica, products of folk potters. The best known are those made by the Svit Kamnik ceramic factory from the beginning of the 1950s until the end of its existence in 2008. They are equipped with city coats of arms, flower arrangements or greetings for important anniversaries and milestones, were a popular gift and decoration of home cooking. However, wine handles – majolica were not the only ones made, many new motifs and patterns were added to this traditional form in the Ljubljana factory Dekor.

After the exhibition, we will be taken by the co-authors of the exhibition Slovenian Majolica Saša Bučan and Marko Kumer, Intermunicipal Museum Kamnik.
