\nWith the exhibition \u201cOur Daily Ceramic,\u201d the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral Rijeka is continuing its tradition of the comprehensive presentation of its inventory, so after clocks, paintings of sailing ships and portraits, it is presenting ceramic items from the Ceramic and Glass Collection \u2013 over four hundred functional and decorative items rendered in different ceramic types: maiolica, fa\u00efence, earthenware, stoneware, porcelain and terracotta. These are items which, in more refined or simpler variants, could be found in every household in the 19th, but also 20th and even 21st centuries, and which are more likely to evoke the memories and aromas of childhood than attract the attention of scholars. And this is precisely why, in the shadow of more artistically and historically significant exponents, their interpretation was often neglected and limited to basic classification data, little to nothing has been written about them and they have almost exclusively been interesting to specialized collectors and ceramic aficionados. But in the light of renewed interest in ceramic, its development and the information that it conveys, regardless of when it was made, we are presenting ceramic items from the \u201cindustrial era\u201d from the Museum\u2019s depot.
\nThe Collection\u2019s origins go back to the 1880s, when materials began to be gathered for the museum being established at the time: the Museo Civico, or Civic Museum. The second major gathering drive occurred in 1933\/34, when the Su\u0161ak Town Museum was established, while the third and final drive occurred just after the end of the Second World War, from 1945 to 1953, when the primary procurement criteria was quantity rather than quality. The most common exponents in the Collection are simple tableware (plates, platters, cups and bowls) adorned in various techniques, mostly produced in English (Davenport, Cardiff, Wedgwood, Coalport, Staffordshire, etc.), German (Meissen, Verandach, Wallerfagen), Austrian (Old Vienna), French (U&G, Sarrequemines), Italian and Czech factories and plants from the end of the 18th to the mid-20th century.
\nThe ceramics from the inventory and select exponents from other Croatian museums and institutions reflect the most significant technological and cultural progress that dictated and directed overall ceramic production, and also ensured the continuity and development of ceramic types from prehistory to the present, twenty thousand years of modification of a single basic form.
\nAfter this exhibition, you will certainly never again take for granted the vessels you put on your table, or see in your grandmother\u2019s kitchen, or stumble over in pieces while strolling on a beach in Kvarner.
