In late colonial times a low level maiolica evolved in Peruvian Andean areas, probably made by Indians. Firing methods and style of decoration differed from northern examples.

Panama Viejo supported a modest but short-lived industry whose products went south along the west coast of South America. No Chinese ceramic influence is apparent. This maiolica was traded widely in the Caribbean and to all northern borderlands.Ī secondary industry in Guatemala apparently was based more directly upon Sevillian models.

The white ground wares of this Caribbean complex are believed to have originated in Sevilla the blue ground wares probably are of Genoese origin, with Spanish copies.

Five complexes of maiolica are suggested as having been present in colonial Spanish America.
