Maiolica workshops in Faenza produced the first bianchi wares in 1540 using a delicate récipe that represented a technical breakthrough in stabilizing White enamel. The celebrated bianchi id Faenza quickly came to symbolize a superior quality so that the neologism faience became the most used synonym for maiolica throughtout Europe. The appearance of the new technology coincided with a period of intense and extreme heretical activity in Faenza, wich culminated in 1567-1569 and resulted in the inquisition and expulsión of ca. 200 persons, among them many potters. Some 600 miles to the northeast, in Moravia, about 18000 Anabaptists (mostly from Germany, Switzerland and the Tyrol) found refuge, and started produced bianchi wares that were highly esteemed by the local nobility. The first surviving pieces from 1593 feature influences of both German and Italian maiolica,thus the question remains: what was the mechanism of the difussion from Italy from Moravia? This chapter will illustrate several theories fromulated mainly by art historians, and supported by archival materials, will argue for an indirect link between Italy and Moravia.
