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.
