Hi All,
I have a type of ceramic I have never seen before. It came from a single unit placed by the Blas Aguilar Adobe in San Juan Capistrano, California. One body fragment. Darned thing is only 1.5 cm square; .5 cm thick. It has a bluish grey glaze on both the interior and exterior - no other decoration. The paste is buff yellow. It looks like a maiolica/majolica, but I cannot find this described in my references (Arthur, Costello & Fagan 1975; Barber 1911; Barbola-Roland 1983; Barnes & May 1972; Bense 2003; Cohen-Williams & Williams 2004; Lister & Lister 1976). Anyone know of a similar ware?
Gracias for your help.
S. Walter
