Since 1880, the Ceramiche Molaroni factory, founded in Pesaro, has been producing handmade furnishing majolica, which stands out for the elegance of its shapes and decorations. Their aim is to continue an Italian tradition that has made spaces around the world unique and elegant.  There are different styles that characterize the ceramics: we find objects refined in shape with Renaissance decorations depicting biblical or mythological subjects, elegant collections painted with detailed Renaissance grotesques, or floral motifs mixed with mermaids and cherubs in monochrome gray on a blue or brown background. Then there are objects with a white field and a sparse image of a putto or a noble coat of arms, very refined objects given by the effect of a particular pictorial technique that recalls embroidery, objects with light and elegant floral and naturalistic decorations. Finally, the collection that made the Molaroni manufacturing famous throughout the world, characterized by an eighteenth-century decoration where a rose is always present.
