Majolica is a word for painted pottery, whose use is not always precise, and can be confusing. Note the different spellings ("i" and "j"), often confused, and different meanings. It may refer to:

  • Maiolica, Italian tin-glazed pottery from the Renaissance period painted with metal oxide enamels onto an opaque white tin glaze.
  • Other types of tin-glazed pottery
  • Victorian majolica, Pottery, mostly English but also European and American, 2nd half of 19th century. Made using coloured lead glazes applied direct to the 'biscuit' body.
