Istoriato is an Italian word meaning story telling.
It is a classic style of Renaissance featuring narrative scenes and figurative subjects. It was much admired and sought after by important patrons of maiolica. The development of this style meant the Italian Maiolica was evolving from utilitarian products to articles of luxury and high art. Masks, grotesques, arms trophies, dolphin headed scrolls, flowers, baskets of fruit, winged cherubs, and banners with inscriptions, legendary labours of ancient heroes, biblical references with classicised interiors, trophies and coats of arms, music, portrait medallions, human figures and winged monsters were all motifs of the period, painted on large ornamental pieces. The most popular products were the beautiful chargers with profile portrait surrounded by a richly decorated border. They sometimes included sayings for commemorative purposes such as weddings and births. Maioliche.
