4) San Elizario--a blue band just under the rim is framed by brown lines
and the floral designs are accented with dark brown touches (Figure 1 lb).
This type of design was popular in the last half of the eighteenth
century (Gerald 1968:44-49).
S) Huejotzingo Blue-on-white--a blue band up to and sometimes slightly
over the rim on an otherwise plain white vessel (Figure 1 lc). This type
is
also occasionally found with a green or yellow band, or with a scalloped
band. It was made throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
(Goggin 1968:195).
6) Aranama Polychrome--includes a number of different floral designs
in green, yellow, orange, and blue with dark brown lines (Figure 1 ld).
The
distinctive hallmark consists of an orange to yellow band which is
framed by brown lines just below the rim. Numerous patterns with this type
of
color combination were popular during the last half of the eighteenth
century (Goggin 1968:198).
7) Tumacacori Polychrome--small floral designs on a light blue background
(Figure 1 le). This type was popular during the first part of the
nineteenth century (Goggin 1968:200).
8) Guanajuato Polychrome--designs in green, rust, and dark brown on
a cream background (Figure 1 lf). The paste is red. This type originated
in the
early nineteenth century (Seifert 1977:60).
9) Undecorated--plain, creamy white. These are mostly undecorated portions
of decorated vessels; however, a number of plain rim sherds indicate the
presence of undecorated vessels as well.
10) Miscellaneous Others--sherds of types not previously recorded in
San Antonio. One bears a dark brown flower on a creamy white background
(Figure 1 lg). Another has a pale blue line below the rim, beneath
which is a portion of a purple floral design.
French Faience
A few sherds of these ceramics are found in most Spanish deposits of the eighteenth century, two were recovered during this project. One sherd has a pale blue, tin glaze on one side and a dark brown glaze on the other, over a pink paste (Figure 11i); this type of faience originated in Rouen, France, during the late eighteenth century (Noel Hume 1960:560). The other sherd has a yellowish-tan paste, a white tin glaze on both sides, and is undecorated (Figure 1 lj). Similar sherds have been found in other eighteenth-century mission sites in Texas.
Oriental Porcelain
Sherds have red and gold floral designs overglaze on a white background
(Figure 1 lh). Similar sherds are found in most Spanish sites in North
America.
Discs
Discs made of sherds or sandstone which vary in diameter from one to
four or more inches are usually present in Spanish collections. The purpose
of
these discs is not confidently known; those of smaller diameters may
have been used in games, as suggested by Schuetz (1969:74).
