I second the recommendation for Patricia Fournier's work. Also, Enrique
Rodriquez-Alegria and Javier G. Inanez have each done several glaze
composition studies and I believe have started to branch out into some
paste studies. Rodriguez-Alegria has a chapter in Glascock's Geochemical
Evidence for Long-Distance Exchange (2002). I am less sure about majolicas
found at California sites.
