Columbia Plain Plato BAH92-1085, St. Johns Wreck3D Model
Columbia Plain plato (plate).Columbia Plain is a relatively crude majolica type defined by cream to terra cotta color and soft, fine, chalky paste with a whitish tin-enameling with relatively thick walls (ca. 7 to 13 millimeters) and crudely finished construction, oftentimes with visible flaws. None of the original tin-enameling has survived on this piece. Columbia Plain has its origins in medieval, Moorish Spain, but the type also transitioned into the Christian-era. Historical documentation shows this type was most likely produced in the greater-Seville area during the colonial period. The full diameter for this plate is 20.2 centimeters. The most complete, has no distinct domed button at the interior center, indicating it was most likely produced in the mid to later 16th century.
