Yayal Blue on WhiteDescription
Fabric: Morisco paste of light cream or yellow with few
visible inclusions.
Glaze: Rough white tin glaze; decorated in blue with concentric bands encircling interior of vessel; some may have central medallions. 
Form: flat-based, straight-walled bowl with straight flaring sides; tall cylindrical footed jar; chamber pot; escudillas (small carinated bowl); or saucer-like platos (small dish). DiscussionLike Santo Domingo Blue on White, Yayal Blue on White (or azul lineal) is a Morisco tin-glazed earthenware made in Seville. It was named after a site in Cuba where it was first identified. Yayal Blue on White was regularly traded to the Americas where it is found into the early 17th century, but appears most commonly ca. 1550-75. There is scattered distribution of the ware along the southern coast of England and the Low Countries. It was found on the 1622 Spanish shipwreck Atocha.Sources
