Habaner ware is maiolica produced in the late 16th and 17th Centuries in Moravia and the Hungarian Empire. The name is a Magyar corruption of Anabaptisten, a protestant sect, who were its first makers. Some of the earlier specimens show a striking resemblance in their elaborate openwork borders to late Italian maiolica. The earliest dated specimen is an ajour dish of 1598.
