“…Copper nanoparticles scatter light strongly due to the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) at about 560 nm, producing the bright red colour shown. Copper nanoparticles may form if a copper containing glaze is submitted to strong reducing conditions during the firing (Pradell 2016). In fact, the glaze looks very dark as it corresponds to a heavily reduced lead glaze ( Fig 5A).…”

This paper presents an analysis of glazes of vessels unearthed in archaeological excavation in the Vega of Granada (south-east Spain) and that can be dated between the 9 th and the 12 th centuries AD. The material analysed includes the first glazed ceramics produced in Al-Andalus after the Islamic occupation of the Peninsula. From a very early period (mid to late-9 th century) there is a coexistence of lead-alkaline monochrome (green and honey) glazed vessels, and of polychrome decorated (green, white and brown) tin-glazed, wares early examples of the so called green and manganese wares. From the 10th century onwards honey lead-alkaline glazed vessels often with manganese-painted decorations are found. The chemical composition of the ceramic pastes, glazes and decorations as well as of the microcrystallites present in the glazes is obtained from polished cross sections of the glazes by SEM-EDS, OM and EPM. Information about the materials and methods of production is discussed and compared to contemporary productions from other areas in Al Andalus and also to later productions.

“…Copper lustres are red (Figure 9J, 9K). Moreover, scattering becomes important for large particles (above 50 nm), and this is responsible for the bluish iridescences shown by some silver lustre decorations (Pradell 2016).…”

Glazes add value to ceramic; improve its appearance (colour and shine) and make it waterproof. Through the choice of colours and designs, glazes made ceramics fashionable, even luxurious, and therefore, an object of trade. Each region and ruling dynasty developed its own style or trademark which makes them particularly suitable for dating purposes. Therefore, the study and analysis of glazes offers direct information about the acquisition of technical skills (technology), trade of specific materials (inter-regional links), migrations and the introduction/adoption of new trends.

“…La experiencia de Frank Hamer, recogida por Caiger-Smith, ilustra los aspectos esenciales de su naturaleza (Caiger-Smith, 1985:221-236). En la loza valenciana las partículas son óxidos de plata y/o cobre que se distribuyen en varios niveles micrométricos en diferentes tamaños y concentraciones (Sciau, 2012;Pradell, 2016). Por su reflectancia su apariencia es brillante, metálica, iridescente y cambia de color según cambia la incidencia de la luz que refleja.…”

La conservación y difusión del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial referido a técnicas históricas de la fabricación cerámica es una preocupación de nuestra institución, paralela a la propia custodia y conservación de la cultura material. En el caso de Valencia, los conocimientos asociados a las técnicas de fabricación de la loza dorada medieval, el reflejo metálico, según los procedimientos utilizados en los talleres valencianos desde época medieval hasta el presente, suponen un bagaje cultural precioso. En los últimos años ha cerrado el último taller que aún cocía el reflejo metálico con combustible vegetal. La información obtenida de los últimos herederos de esta tradición aporta elementos de singular valor cultural así como datos de gran importancia para la interpretación arqueológica y arqueométrica. Por ello, el Museo viene desarrollando una acción continuada de documentación de la práctica de esta técnica pretérita, así como de la promoción de su difusión mediante documentales y talleres experimentales para favorecer su pervivencia en el presente.
