The objective of this study was to determine the authorship, provenance, and technology of the mudejar enamelled tiles from the Olite Castle (northern Spain, 14th century). According to previous knowledge, Olite’s enamelled tiles had been manufactured in Manises (Valencia, Spain). The analysis of ceramic pastes revealed the existence of two different chemical compositions, suggesting the use of two different clay sources, probably one from the Tudela area, and another from the Tafalla–Olite area. Those probably made in the Tudela area stood out with a higher diopside (CaMgSi2O6) content. Those probably made in the Tafalla–Olite area stood out for their calcium-bearing minerals, such as calcite (CaCO3) or gehlenite (Ca2Al(AlSi)O7). On this basis, production in Manises has been ruled out. However, it is highly probable that the artisans of Manises would have led the production from Tudela. The study of the firing temperatures and composition of the enamels indicated that the production methods and materials used in Tafalla–Olite (800–850 °C) and Tudela (higher than 900 °C) were different, reflecting the influence of local and Manises artisans, respectively. In Olite tiles, enamel was applied following recipes from the 14th and 15th centuries.

The Kingdom of Navarre was a Christian kingdom located in the north of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. Its location on the west of the isthmus between the Iberian Peninsula and the European continent allowed an exchange of cultural currents. The main pottery production centres were in Estella, Lumbier, Pamplona, Tafalla, and Tudela. Ceramic pastes from various mediaeval sites were analysed for both elemental and mineralogical composition determination. The results were evaluated using Principal Component Analysis and allowed us to identify each production centre. Each manufacturing centre showed a different and characteristic composition of raw materials. Ceramics from Tudela were Ca-, Mg-, Na-, and Sr-rich. Ceramics from Estella were richer in Al, K, and Ti. Ca, Sc, and Sr contents were higher in Tafalla ceramics. Lumbier ceramics stood out for being enriched in Si, Mn, Fe, and Zr. Pamplona ceramics showed intermediate values. The analysis of samples from other Navarrese locations allowed us to begin to define what the commercial ceramic network in the Kingdom of Navarre was like during the Middle Ages. Therefore, two aims were defined for this paper: to characterise the ceramic pastes for each of the producing centres and to know where the ceramics were exported to.
