Tumacacori Polychrome is glazed blue on both sides of bowls and comales and
can vary in color from blue to gray. The only ornamentation is just below the
rim or brim of the vessel. I have not seen one that is not blue on both
sides. These were a much nicer grade of Majolica than the Puebla Tradition or
Aranama Tradition (what Jack and Anita Williams call Abo'-Aranama Tradition). On
this point, the potters' guild set standards for three grades of Majolica;
yellow (plain white), common, and fine. As the guild lost political favor
during the Mexican Republic, the Majolica factories experimented and broke
tradition to produce pottery that competed well with European export pottery. I
believe this becomes evident between 1810 and 1830. Mark Barnes goes into detail
in the 1970 publication, Mexican Majolica in Northern New Spain, by proposing
three time divisions for the polychrome ornamentation. I believe the height
of the Mexican Republic era produced Majolica can be marked by Tumacacori
Polychrome. While more pieces from your site may prove me wrong, I think you
cannot make too much out of one slightly grayer sherd because the range of color
variants includes gray tints of blue.

I have already looked at these gorgeous illustrations & photos. Not sky
blue definately grey blue. Not burned. Its not Tumacacori that I can
tell. Have you seen Tumacacori that has a solid area at least 1 cm wide on
both sides of the vessel?
(Has anyone ever made replications of these vessels in ceramic?)
