Grotesque 19th century English Majolica Troll Sculpture wearing a colorful coattail jacket of the era, grinning eerily while perched on an ottoman and strumming a lyre.

Background: Art of majolica making began in the Middle East in the 9th century, in the modern regions surrounding Syria, Egypt, and Iran. Majolica slowly spread into Europe from south to north in the 14th century. Some of the most recognized manufacturers of this art in Europe came from, England & Scotland during the 18th and 19th century. The most impressive characters of early European majolica depicted humans in animated poses, or animals in vicious life & death battles.
