“…To reconstruct the production technology of ancient ceramics it is necessary to establish the nature of the raw materials and how they were prepared and/or selected for artefact production [33,34,[36][37][38]. In addition, it is needful to explore how the vessels were formed and decorated on the surface and their conditions of firing [20,39,40].…”

“…Previous analysis of original and replacement glazed ceramics used in Madrilenian buildings at the beginning of the 20th century (Pérez-Monserrat et al, 2013) makes clear: i) their essential role in the ideology of the projects, ii) the conscious decision to select Spanish raw materials, and iii) when making the replacement pieces, the appearance of the originals were respected, while using raw materials and tech-nology that made them more resistant.…”

Glazed ceramics -both original and replacement-from Chamberí Metro Station (built in 1919) in Madrid (Spain) were studied using a multidisciplinary approach aimed at finding out more about the materials and technologies used to make them. The original white tiles, which help illuminate these underground spaces, were manu-factured in Onda, Castellón (Spain) with very calcareous clays fired at ≈950 °C and coated with lead alkali-glazes. The original decorative pieces, with a metallic sheen, were made in Triana, Seville (Spain) with cal-careous and illite clays fired at temperatures of between 850 and 950 °C and treated with transparent lead glazes. The replacement pieces had the same appearance as the originals but were more resistant. The white tiles were made out of quartz-rich, illite-kaolinite and calcareous clays fired at temperatures of > 950 °C with an alkali-glaze that was very rich in zircon and aluminium. The decorative pieces were made from illite-kaolinite clays very rich in aluminium and fired at < 850 °C. These included an additive in the form of a highly refractory grog and were covered with an aluminium-rich lead-potassium glaze. The manufacturing techniques used to make each type of piece varied depending on their particular function within the station.

“…The coating of ceramic supporting surfaces allows tiles to offer greatly diversified technical characteristics [9], in addition to a wide range of decoration options, leading to a range of highly differentiated and diversified products [10]. The ceramic tile or slab's final appearance usually results from crystallization process phases that confer different finishes: shine, opacity, biodegradation through oxidation, anti-slip, roughness, luster [11], reflectance [12], etc.…”

Iridescent Techniques in Ceramics: Physico-Chemical Analysis and Colorimetric Characterization of the Headquarters of the Botín Foundation in Santander

In recent years, the use of porcelain stoneware in building envelopes has opened new lines of research and innovation favoring energy efficiency and the reduction of environmental impacts. However, there has been little research on its relationship with light vibration and reflectivity, visual perception, and integration in the urban environment and landscape. In this study, an analysis was conducted on the production and application of crafted pieces of porcelain stoneware, shaped in spherical caps, at the headquarters of the Botín Foundation in Santander (Spain). Various enamels with an iridescent-nacreous finish and metallic reflection were applied to the stoneware to generate a vibrant skin that would constantly change with natural light and the environment. A vitrification and metal deposition process were designed through successive applications of enamels and firings. The physico-chemical properties of the enameling and the microcracking factors that produced the iridescent effect were characterized. A colorimetric characterization was performed evaluating the goniochromatic or iridescent colors, measuring the spectral radiance factor of the light, and comparing these results with other ceramic pieces.
