The case of Black and green tin glazed pottery from Barcelona between 13th and 14th century: analysing its production and its decorations

Black and green tin-glazed pottery is known to be one of the true majolica manufactures at Barcelona during the end of the medieval period. This pottery means the evolution of a production process for achieving opacified decorated tableware, started one century before, with the elaboration of what i...
