Abstract Combining a stylistic approach with chemical analyses and focusing not only on composition but also production technology, this research aims to identify possible centres of post-medieval glass as well decorative techniques used in stained glass, particular the grisaille. The use several combined analytical allowed for unveiling structure grisailles.

This preliminary study constitutes first analytical approach manufacturing from a Spanish early-modern period. µ-PIXE allowed for quantification major, minor some trace elements fragments. It also mapping elemental distribution on that were identified as an interface crucible/glass. analysis evaluation ionic...
