Comentarios: Melado ware differs from similarly-colored lead glazed wares in its majolica-like paste, and its thick, opaque glaze. On the earliest Spanish sites in the Caribbean, Melado occurs is a wider variety of paste types, glaze colors and vessel forms than it does after ca. 1520. These varieties are detailed in Deagan and Cruxent 2002b:160-166. Decoration is rare in later examples.
