This pottery type is of Moorish-inspired Iberian origin. By the mid-seventeenth century, it was apparently being produced in American centers, including Panamá and Mexico. Its production continued in parts of Mexico into the early twentieth century. Feldspar inlay on Orange Micaceous paste or on a buff-colored earthenware paste has been noted at sixteenth-century sites in the Caribbean.

This description of Feldspar-Inlaid Redware comes from the Historical Archaeology Digital Ceramic Type Collection maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Thin, dark-red unglazed coarse earthenware paste, sometimes with a reddish wash on the surface. Decorated with embedded white feldspar stone chips, inlaid either randomly or in a pattern. Molded, stamped, and incised decorative elements may also be present, including zoomorphic vessel appendages.
