Since then, the Ashmolean has expanded its holdings of tin-glazed and related earthenwares to consolidate its position as one of the world's most important and wide-ranging collections. Among the acquisitions described here is the only known piece of Italian maiolica made for a Tudor Englishman, a plate made for Humphrey Dethick, who caused a nationwide stir in 1602 by an apparent attempt to assassinate King James VI of Scotland. The bequest from Sidney Knafel of New York has transformed the Museum's holdings of French faience; while important 16th-century maiolica comes from the collection of the late Airlie Holden-Hindley. Among the lustrewares included are \u003ci\u003efin-de-siècle\u003c\/i\u003e pieces by Clément Massier and work by some of the world's supreme contemporary masters of the technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Wilson,Matthew Winterbottom,Francesca Leoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910807737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910807736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashmolean Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.98h x 9.70w x 0.88d","brand":"Timothy Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089442681087,"sku":"9781910807736","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6337e89a-76d3-481d-b505-da17b971d0c6.jpg?v=1769110282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maiolica-and-faience-timothy-wilson-9781910807736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
