The tin content of the blue-glazed Hutterite and Haban ceramics – implications for
the pro-duction technology based on results of the handheld XRF and electron microprobe
analyses
The Hutterites and Habans produced coloured-glazed, mostly blue- and yellow-coloured
vessels alongside their white-glazed faience ware. However, the production technology
of the coloured-glazed vessels, specifically the nature of the glaze, is a matter
of debate among scholars. Both coloured tin glaze and coloured engobe covered with
a transparent lead glaze were thought to have been applied on the ceramics.
