San Elizario Polychrome is clearly part of the Puebla Blue on White majolica tradition. It is very similar to Puebla Blue on White, Black Variant, and is distinguished primarily by its distinctive rim band treatment and central motif. It has been reported most frequently in the southwestern United States.

This description of San Elizario Polychrome comes from the Historical Archaeology Digital Ceramic Type Collection maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History.
