Abstract

This work main aim is to show the results of material and technical analysis we performed in selected glazed ceramic tiles in Patio de las Doncellas at Real Alcázar of Seville –Spain– in order to test materials and procedures to reintegrate using glazed ceramic tiles according to differentiation and harmony criteria. The methodology is based on the formal examination – geometric design–, colorimetric study and scientific analysis –through optical microscopy and SEM-EDX– by sampling from glazed ceramic. The results show high decorative and technological quality tiles, possibly made in single firing. The most interesting tiles are called lustres, that are made in a third reducing firing on white glaze, located in the central sinos –stars– of the tracery decoration. Goniochromatic effects on the glaze surface are also significant, as a reducing firing effect.
