Columbia Plain majolica

Table III presents the proposed location of production on the basis of the chemical composition for the majolica types analyzed and the attributions made by Goggin (I) and Lister and Lister (2). All Mexico City White and Mexico City copies of Columbia Plain belong to the proposed Mexico City production as just discussed. All the San Luis Blue-on-White sherds reported here are from the excavations at Santa Catalina de Guale. With the exception of the three Spanish composition sherds discussed earlier, the remaining 17 sherds can be chemically classified as having been produced in Puebla. Both Goggin and the Listers propose a Mexico City production for San Luis Blue-on-White. Goggin s attribution to Mexico City is restricted to the reddish paste variant. We have no chemical confirmation of a Mexico City production for San Luis Blue-on-White.
