Comentarios:

Santa Elena Mottled Blue on White is part of the 15th-16th century Sevillian "Morisco" majolica tradition. Defined on the basis of sherds from Santa Elena South Carolina (1566-1587), it has so far only been reported from that site, St. Augustine, Florida and Spain. It appears to have been most commonly made in heavy-bodied, utilitarian forms.
