“…According to previous SEM-EDS analysis [2], the white glaze of tiles no. 334 and 340 was mostly composed of PbO and SiO2, as expected from Italian majolica glazes [42][43][44][45]; however, other oxides, including Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, K2O, MgO, MnO, and Na2O, were also detected. Magnesium oxide (MgO) was often added to the glaze material because it reduced the thermal expansion of the glaze coating, and potassium oxide (K2O) was often added to increase the brilliancy and hardness of the glaze.…”

“…However, since the glaze coating is porous, the presence of The variability of the chemical analyses between the different methods probably results from the heterogeneity of the glaze matrix, and the examination of different regions of the samples' surface with dissimilar scanned areas, and the specific sensitivity of each technique. Therefore, it is suggested that the white glaze is a typical tin-opacified majolica glaze [42,44,45,47].…”

A Tale of Two Tiles: Characterization of Floor Tiles from the Nineteenth-Century Akko Tower Shipwreck (Israel)

Fragments of decorated floor tiles were retrieved from the Akko Tower shipwreck, Israel. Most tiles were made of bright brown fired clay with a white glaze decorated with colored stenciled motifs (Type A); and others consisted of a red-brown fired clay body, coated with a brown pigment covered with transparent brown glaze (Type B). This study aimed to characterize the two tile types; to reveal information concerning the manufacturing process; and to determine the origin of their raw material. A multidisciplinary approach was used, including light microscopy, SEM-EDS, electron probe microanalysis with wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EPMA-WDS), XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) analyses. The characterization of both tile types demonstrated the use of different raw materials. The Type A tiles were covered with tin-opacified majolica glaze and colored with various mixtures of pigments. The blue color was due to pigment rich in cobalt; the yellow color was due to Naples yellow and lead-tin yellow I minerals; and the green, orange, and brown colors were all prepared by mixing the Naples yellow pigment with different minerals. These majolica glaze tiles were probably manufactured in Sicily. The brown coating of the Type B tiles was due to pigment rich in lead and iron minerals. These tiles were produced with different manufacturing processes, and apparently made in France.

AN EARLY CONSUMER REVOLUTION IN HISPANIC AMERICA? CONSUMPTION OF ASIAN GOODS BY THE COMMONERS IN 18^TH-CENTURY MEXICO

Was there an early consumer revolution in Hispanic America? This article presents varied evidence supporting an affirmative answer to this question, especially regarding the case of New Spain. The inauguration of the Manilla Galleon trade route across the Pacific Ocean in 1565 was decisive in this respect. It made it possible that Asian goods (more or less finished silk and cotton textiles, porcelain, lacquerware, ivory religious images, furniture and spices, mainly) experienced an early diffusion throughout New Spain after arriving in Acapulco. This innovation in consumption patterns was adopted first by the elites, not much later, by the intermediate classes and, rather soon than not, by the commoners. Primary (i.e. Avalúos of the galleons' cargo) and secondary sources permit quantitatively exploring the possibilities of consumption of Asian goods by unprivileged segments of New Spain's population. We find that a non-negligible number of those goods were accessible to Mexico City labourers. Thus, it may be inferred that upper segments of society accessed it earlier and more easily. Therefore, New Spain should be included in any global narrative of the changes in consumption during the Early Modern Era.
