Hi Susan,

Have you looked at Ceramic Production in Early Hispanic California (
http://upf.com/book.asp?id=SKOWR001) by Skowronek, Blackman, and Bishop?
There's a chapter that summarizes many of the previous majolica studies and
relates them to the authors' chemical analysis of California majolicas.
There is also some mention of majolica replication at the Presidio of Santa
Barbara.

Best,
Lee
