**Abstract:** One of the most recognized decorations of the *pick-up* technique is the *millefiori* glass, which has been commonly attributed to Venetian production. However, Portugal is the country where the largest known assemblage of this type of glass artefact has been studied and published. In this work, two important archeological contexts were selected: (1) Santa Clara-a-Velha monastery (SCV) and (2) São João de Tarouca monastery (SJT). The fragments selection was made based on the diversity of decorative motifs, colors, and original forms that has been associated with Portuguese production. The compositional characterization was conducted by performing micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (μ-PIXE) mapping, which facilitated the visualization of the distribution of different oxides across the different glass layers and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to obtain the major, minor, and trace elements composition, including rare earth elements (REEs) to determine which kind of raw materials were used. Additionally, μ-Raman spectroscopy was employed to investigate the opacifiers, while UV-Visible spectroscopy was used to study which chromophores are presented in the glass samples. All the analyzed glass layers can be considered to be of a soda-lime-silica type, and four different geological patterns (from GP1 to GP4) were detected and reported. This result can indicate that these objects were made by using silica sources taken from four different geological settings. Interestingly, the GP3 represents about 41% of the analyzed glass fragments and is compatible with the pattern detected in some production wastes found in two different archeological contexts located in Lisbon, which reinforces the veracity of the theory that this GP can be attributed to a Portuguese production. On the other hand, GP1 was probably attributed Granada provenance.

## 1. Introduction

The *pick-up* technique has two different groups of patterns: *millefiori* and *splashed*. The difference between both is that, while the *splashed* pattern uses small, colorful shards of glass to decorate the glass surface of the object, giving it a speckled appearance, the *millefiori* pattern uses *murrine* (sliced canes that have colorful geometrics and concentric patterns observed on its cross-section) appearing to have been decorated with small glass flowers [1].

These objects are extremely rare, and *millefiori* patterns have been considered in the literature as “a perfect type of glass” [2], “one of the most magnificent Venetian glass” [3,4], and have been viewed as a work of art and, simultaneously, as a way to control, imitate, and even surpass nature through alchemy and expert skills [5,6].

Surprisingly, Portugal is the country where the largest known assemblage of archeo-
logical *pick-up* glass fragments has been studied and published, and, in the past, a great part
of them has been attributed to a Venetian provenance due to the high level of complexity
involved in this technique [1]. Venetian glass enjoyed significant popularity in Portugal,
and numerous documents attest to its importation and widespread diffusion among the
wealthiest members of Portuguese society. It was so appreciated that during the reign of
the Portuguese King D. Manuel I (from 1495 to 1521), only he had the exclusive privilege of
selling Venetian glass in Portugal [7].

Yet, that seems to have changed between the 16th and 17th century. Some historical
documents attest that Portugal was also producing glass in several different regions be-
tween the 16th and the 17th centuries (Figure 1), and some of them are documented to
have a quality comparable to the Venetian glass objects, also known as *façon-de-Venise* [7–9].
This was not strange, as some archeometric investigations proved that *pick-up* glass was
being produced in other countries outside Venice: Spain [10], The Netherlands [11–14], and
England [15].

The largest of the red circles indicates that in that region of the map, more than one glass production furnace was reported in the consulted literature.</figcaption></figure>

In a royal letter, dated to 15 July 1563, Cardinal D. Henrique (principal regent of Portugal while the legitimate successor to the throne was too young to reign) forbids the import and sale of Venetian glass in the country arguing that, there is in Portugal, a glass of comparable quality and noting that this was a protective measure for Portuguese glassmakers [16].

However, one year earlier (April of 1562), a royal charter forbade the settlement of
glass furnaces and the destruction of the existing ones at less than "7 léguas" (almost 34 km)
from Lisbon due to the excessive consumption of wood and its consequent price rising and
lack of fuel for the daily life of its population [16].

As suggested by José Pedro Barosa, this seemingly contradictory information may be con-
sidered as a sign of political pressure due to some Portuguese conflicts with Venice, as Venice
was causing problems in the Adriatic Sea for the trade of oriental spices made by Portuguese
merchants, and the restriction was directed exclusively to Venetian glass and not to glass
imports from other high-quality production centers such as Antwerp [16]. All this information
can be viewed as written evidence to support the existence of Portuguese production.

Unfortunately, there is a gap in the material record of furnaces and objects of known
Portuguese origin, which has greatly hindered the study of Portuguese glass production
in this period [7]. Having this in mind, archeometrical studies have been developed to
better understand what was being produced in Portugal, what was being imported, and
from where.

Considering the results of studies performed on archeological glass found in Portugal and dated to the Modern period we can highlight that (1) some objects, like the gourd-shaped vessel, frequently appear exclusively in Portugal [17]; (2) focusing on *millefiori* glass, new decorative patterns, like the cross of Christ and Caravel, appear in fragments found in Lisbon [18]; (3) new colors applied in the glass body [19] and (4) the very high alumina values (Al₂O₃ > 6 wt%) measured for glass found in Portugal are not comparable with any known European glass production center [20,21]; and (4) the geochemical pattern of glass slags found in Lisbon are compatible with the *millefiori* glass fragments also found in the capital [18].

Interestingly, in previous studies performed by Augusta Lima and co-authors [20] and Coutinho et al. [21] of *pick-up* glass from the Santa Clara-a-Velha monastery (Coimbra), genuine Venetian attribution was possible for a few glass fragments and some *filigrana* glass found in Largo do Chafariz de Dentro (Lisboa) [22]. The *millefiori* glass fragments, found in the Santa Clara-a-Velha monastery (SCV), have a high amount of Al₂O₃ (3–6 wt%), which may be compatible with Tuscany production [20].

Although these new observations allow for better understanding Portuguese glass-
making technology, we propose that by studying fragments produced by the *pick-up*
technique, and combining morphological characteristics (form, decorative motifs, and
range of colors) with compositional studies, it will be possible to build patterns that will
allow us to identify possible Portuguese provenance. We hope that, in the future, this
method can help to distinguish productions without the necessity of carrying out expensive
and time-consuming analyses.

Archeological Context and Material

Two archeological contexts were chosen based on different aspects:

* Santa Clara-a-Velha monastery (SCV), is known to be the archeological site with the largest assemblage of *millefiori* glass fragments ever found around the world [1] (Supplementary Material). Here, new decorative patterns, glass colors, and shapes were observed [19].

This monastery is one of the most important Portuguese religious sites because it was
where the only Portuguese Queen to be declared a saint by the Catholic Church (The Holy
Queen Elisabeth of Portugal, 1271–1336) wanted to be entombed. For this reason, this
monastery became an important place of pilgrimage and was inhabited by nuns of noble
families and upper bourgeoisies, who probably brought their personal objects/ornaments
with them [23]. Here, is important to note that, at that time, it seems like becoming a
nun was more related with social status/protection than with personal devotion, and this
observation may contribute to justifying the great number of luxurious items that were
found in this context, where nuns that followed the vows of poverty, chastity, enclosure,
and obedience lived [24].

The SCV monastery was occupied by the Poor Clares Order from the 13th century to 1677, when a new location had to be chosen due to frequent flooding. Most of glass artifacts are dated to the first half of the 17th century, coinciding with the period of the Queen's canonization (25 May 1625) by Pope Urban VIII [23].

The total number or *pick-up* glass objects found in this context was 34 (29 *millefiori* and 5 splash). They were previously morphologically characterized by T. Medici [7], and 19 fragments were also chemically characterized by A. Lima [20]. For this study, 21 glass fragments were selected to be analyzed for the first time. This selection includes two fragmented
murrine canes (SCV_364 and SCV_366); one base of a small bottle (SCV_369); three small
bottlenecks, one of them being made in a gourd shape (SCV_046); and the other fragments
belong to unknown parts of undetermined objects (Figure 2).

<figure><img src="image_5.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 2.** Selected pick-up glass fragments found in Santa Clara-a-Velha monastery to be analyzed.</figcaption></figure>

* São João de Tarouca monastery (SJT) was selected because a small, fragmented *millefiori* flask decorated with the particular “cross of Christ” pattern and a small fragment belonging to a rim and part of the wall of a blue glass vessel decorated with *rosette* pattern (Figure 3) were found here.

The SJT site is the oldest Portuguese Cistercian monastery, and it was classified as a National Monument in 1956 [25]. It is connected to the French Clairvaux monastery, with its first documentation dating back to 1144 [26]. The connection with glass working of the Cistercian Order are reported in some documents that mentioned that they were able to make small objects like paternosters and “pilgrimage hardware” [27]. These fragments were dated to the 17th century, and the symbol of the *cross of Christ* was adopted by the Military Order of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which inherited, in Portugal, all the heritage that belonged to the Templar Order [28]. This cross, also known as the Portuguese cross, is an important symbol for Portuguese identity, being used on contemporary coins, in the caravel sails, and architectural ornaments [29].

Can some of these objects be considered local production? Indeed, these two archeo-
logical contexts have such high important glass assemblages, considering their diversity of
forms, variety of glass objects, and decorative motifs; in recent decades, several works have
been developed based on their glass artifacts [20,21,30–33].

## 2. Methodology

### 2.1. *Sample Selection and Preparation*

The selection of the glass fragments was carried out based on their representativity regarding morphological aspects such as: decorative patterns, range of colors, the shape of the original object, the presence/absence of layers of degradation, and the presence/absence of gold leaf.

To avoid erroneous results by analyzing and quantifying corrosion layers instead of
the bulk glass, small samples (2–4 mm²) were dry-cut with a diamond wire. These small
samples were then embedded in an epoxy resin and polished with SiC sandpaper down
to 4000 mesh. This sampling procedure was only performed on broken objects and on
individual fragments without possible connections.

### 2.2. *UV-Vis Absorbance and Reflectance Spectroscopy*

UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy was used to confirm the presence of the transition metal ions responsible for the colors. An Avantes AvaSpec-2048 fiber optic spectrometer with a 300 lines/mm grating was used in the VICARTE research unit. The operational range was 350 to 1100 nm, and the instrument had a FWHM resolution of 2.4 nm. The light transmitted was measured using a 200 mm transmission probe (Avantes FC-UV600-2) with a diameter of 100 µm. The scattered light was collected with the fiber in direct contact with the glass sample.

### 2.3. *µ-Raman Spectroscopy*

Raman microscopy was carried out to aid in the identification of the opacifying crystalline compounds. A Labram 300 Jobin Yvon spectrometer equipped with an Nd:YAG laser 50 mW operating at 532 nm was used. Spectra were recorded as an extended scan. The laser beam was focused either with a 50× or a 100× Olympus objective lens. The laser power at the surface of the samples was varied with the aid of a set of neutral density filters (optical densities 0.3, 0.6, 1, and 2).

### 2.4. *µ-PIXE*

The micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (µ-PIXE) maps were useful to observe
how the different elements were distributed throughout the different layers of glass. A
PIXE with micrometer lateral resolution was performed using an Oxford Microbeams
OM150-type scanning microprobe capable of both focusing down to 3 × 4 µm², the 1 MeV
proton beam used, and scanning a sample surface area as large as 3730 × 3730 µm². The
sample fragments were irradiated in a vacuum and a 30 mm² Bruker SDD X-ray detector
with 145 eV energy resolution (at the energy of the Mn Kα line, 5.9 keV) was used for X-ray
collection. Equipped with an 8 µm-thick Be window, it allows for detecting X-ray energies
as low as the ones of Na while preventing most of the protons from entering and damaging
the detector crystal. From the initially obtained 2D elemental distribution maps (with
typical dimensions of 750 × 750 µm²), the glass body and the several layers of different
colors belonging to decoration were properly identified, and a representative region of
interest was selected to visualize the distribution of different oxides throughout the layers.
The equipment is located at the C2TN, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa,
and was operated by Luís Cerqueira Alves.

### 2.5. *LA-ICP-MS*

Laser Ablation Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was used
to obtain all the chemical compositions of the different glass layers. This technique has an
increased detection limit (can go to ng/g) that allows for measuring the major and minor elements and trace elements (including rare earth elements (REEs)), which makes it better suited for provenance studies [34]. This method is particularly well adapted to composite or decorated glass objects [35].

The glass objects are placed inside an ablation cell (Resonetics S155, 10 × 15 cm), where a micro-sample, invisible to the naked eye (diameter < 100 µm), is extracted by the laser beam. This sampled material is then carried to the plasma torch of the mass spectrometer by an argon/helium gas flow (1 L/min Ar + 0.65 L/min He) where it is dissociated and ionized by the high temperature of the plasma (8000 °C). The different glass constituents are separated according to their mass/charge ratios by the double-focusing mass spectrometer and quantified by the electronic detector (a secondary electrons multiplier or a Faraday cup according to the ion beam intensities).

The instrumentation employed consists of a Resonetics M50E excimer laser working at 193 nm, coupled with a Thermo Fisher Scientific ELEMENT XR mass spectrometer.

The excimer laser was operated at 5 mJ, with a repetition rate of 10 Hz. The beam diameter was adjusted from 40 µm to 100 µm to avoid saturation from elements such as manganese, cooper, tin, antimony, or lead. A pre-ablation time of 20 s was set in order to eliminate the transient part of the signal, which was then acquired for 27 s corresponding to 9 mass scans from lithium to uranium (the signal in count/second is measured in a low-resolution mode for 58 different isotopes). Between one and three ablations were carried out for each color of glass. If surface contamination was observed, a second or a third ablation was carried out at the same place.

Calibration was performed using 5 reference glass materials: (1) NIST610, (2) Corning B, (3) Corning C, (4) Corning D, and (5) APL1 (an in-house, standard glass with its composition determined by a Fast Neutron Activation Analysis, which is used for chlorine quantification), which were run periodically to correct for potential drift. The standards are used to calculate the response coefficient (k) of each element [35]. The net signals measured for each isotope are then normalized to $ ^{28}Si $, the internal standard, and corrected for their isotopic abundance, their response coefficient, and their main oxidation state in order to calculate the concentration of each element expressed as oxide weight percentages (wt%).

The detection limits range from 0.1 to 0.01 wt% for major elements and from 20 to 500 µg/g for others.

To validate the obtained concentration results, glass reference standards Corning A and Nist 612 were regularly analyzed as unknown samples throughout all the analytical sequence. The average values obtained during the analysis for these glasses agree within 5 to 10% with the certified ones (for detailed information about the glass materials used for the calibration, please see Table S2 of the Supplementary Material).

# 3. Results and Discussion

## 3.1. Base Glass

This part of the work will begin by examining the base glass of the samples only. Each color or layer of different glass is considered separately. To achieve the base glass of our samples, the oxides associated with colorants (such as cobalt, copper, iron, and manganese), opacifiers (including antimony and tin), and other related elements (such as arsenic, bismuth, lead, nickel, etc.) were subtracted from the main composition and then normalized to 100%.

This base-glass methodology has been used in colored glass investigation as representative of the original clear glass, enabling a comparison of the main oxides with coeval Venetian and *façon-de-Venise* glass published in the literature, e.g., [20,36,37]. To uniformize all the glass layers, the iron oxide was removed from the “base glass”, as it was usually added for coloring purposes. On the other hand, it is known that some oxides like $Fe_2O_3$ or MnO could also be unintentionally introduced in the glass matrix through raw materials; the presence of these oxides will be discussed later (Section 3.3.1).
The average, minimum, and maximum values of base composition are presented in Table 1 (for the complete composition, check Table S2 in the Supplementary Material).

Note that the content of PbO and SnO₂ in white layers has a representativity of about 29 wt% (between 16 and 44 wt%) because the amount of PbO and SnO₂. This value is considerably high when compared to the clear- and the other-colored glass layers, where the amount of reduced oxides are, on average, about 4 wt% (Table 2). This means that, for white-colored glass, the estimated “original clear glass” will be less reliable than for the other glass layers. The authors accepted this reality and decided to present and discuss the white glass layers along with the other clear and colored glass layers.

### 3.1.1. Alkali Sources

All the analyzed glass samples have contents of Na₂O between 10.0 and 21.2 wt%, K₂O of 0.7–7.5 wt%, and CaO of 3.33–11.52 wt%. These results are compatible with soda-lime-silica glass types, which were profusely used by Venetian glass makers and in most of the Mediterranean *façon-de-Venise* production centers of the 16th and 17th centuries. This type of glass was made by using halophytic plants (that grow in salty soils) ashes as fluxing agent.

To distinguish and predict different kinds of glass based on the type of ash used as raw material in glassmaking, a normalization of fluxing oxides has been profusely used, e.g., [21,38,39]. Na₂O* and K₂O* are calculated by dividing the respective oxides by the oxides associated with the fluxing agent (Na₂O, MgO, P₂O₅, K₂O, and CaO), and the two correlated lines of Na₂O* + K₂O* = 0.6 and Na₂O* + K₂O* = 0.75 represent, respectively, the use of unpurified and purified ashes [10]. With this normalization, the influence of the ratio of fluxing agent and silica sources is eliminated [40].

As expected, due to the results of previous studies where SCV glass fragments were chemically investigated [17,20,21], these glass fragments also appeared dispersed throughout the different groups of sodic alkali sources (Figure 4). In the SCV context, glass composition comparable to the Venetian and *façon-de-Venise* production were already detected in *splashed* and *millefiori* [20], *filigrana* [21], gourd-shaped vessels [17], amongst others.

<figure><img src="image_7.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 4.** Base glass composition normalized to Na₂O* (Na₂O/(MgO + P₂O₅ + K₂O + CaO)) and K₂O* (K₂O/(Na₂O + MgO + P₂O₅ + CaO)) plotted with the correlation lines Na₂O* + K₂O* = 0.6 (untreated ashes) and 0.75 (treated ashes), indicating the use of, respectively, unpurified and purified ashes. cl = clear; db = dark blue; gr = green; p = purple; r = red; t = turquoise; w = white.</figcaption></figure>

Considering the alkali sources (Figure 4), clear glass from SCV_044, 046, 272, 275, and 394 (*murrine*); dark blue glass layer from SCV_250, 365 (body), 366, and 368 (body); red glass from SCV 235 and 275; turquoise glass from SCV 250; and white glass from SCV_250, 365, 368, 388, and 394 were produced by using Levantine plant ashes, which makes these candidates to a genuine Venetian origin. The underlined numbers represent the analyzed glass samples which exhibit a composition that is compatible with *cristallo* glass (purified Levantine ashes). Moreover, clear glass from SCV_235, 236, 245, and 364 (*millefiori* cane); blue glasses from SCV_232 (body), 329 (body), and 364; green glass from SCV_232; red glasses from SCV_232, 245, 329, and 364; turquoise glasses from SCV_329 and 364; and white glasses from SCV_232, 245, 250, 329, and 364 are in the 16th and 17th
century *façon-de-Venise* glass region (Figure 4), meaning that they were probably using other fluxing agents like *barilla*.

The possible interpretation for the presence of samples between the two correlated lines (Figure 4) are the use of (1) a semi-purified ashes, (2) different recipes, (3) cullet, and (4) a mixture of sodic plant ashes.

Indeed, different plants have different contents of specific elements. For instance, *Barilla*, a native plant to the western Mediterranean, known as *Maçacote* in Portuguese or *Salsola Kali* in Latin, has a higher content of K₂O and was extensively used as a flux agent in the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Sardinia, while Venetian glassmakers usually made a careful selection of the raw materials, importing them from specific locations such as Syria and Egypt (Levantine plant ashes) for the purer alkali sources (less K₂O) and the quartz pebbles from the Ticino or Adige rivers [9,41–43].

Although the enrichment of potassium oxide content is being linked to the flux agents (alkali sources) here, it is important to bear in mind that this higher amount of K₂O can also be related to other factors, like the use of silica sources rich in potassic feldspars or intentional addition of calcinated tartar (also known as *gripola di vino* or K-carbonates), which was widely used in the glass production since the 15th century [44].

In addition to this information, it is important to mention that, from the 15th century onwards, Venetian glassmakers also started to produce a new kind of glass (*cristallo* glass) by purifying the Levantine ashes to decrease the amount of impurities such as iron oxide, which were responsible for tinting the glass [45]. The disadvantage of this method is that, in the purification process, some glass stabilizers (e.g., CaO and MgO) were also removed, making the glass more susceptible to weathering degradation [46].

The detection of this purified composition has been noted in other production centers spread throughout Europe, e.g., [14,15,47,48], and has been considered a consequence of the immigration of some Muranese glassmakers during the 16th century. As a result of this emigration, the glass treatises and their subsequent translations made glass compositions and knowledge of the raw materials employed in glass making accessible to glassmakers all over Europe [42].

This information demonstrates that, although some glass layers appear in the *Levantine* ashes region (Figure 4), it does not mean that they were all made in Venice, as *Levantine* ashes were also used in other glass production centers outside of Venice.

Moreover, bearing in mind that the stability in the composition of the raw materials used in the best kind of Venetian glass has been considered essential to produce this high-quality glass [42], a Venetian attribution to the SJT and a greater part of the SCV fragments based on the alkali source is hard to propose, since the composition of 60 out of 75 (80%) of the analyzed layers are not compatible with Levantine ashes.

### 3.1.2. Silica Sources

Historical documents attest that Venetian glassmakers were using quartz pebbles from the Ticino and Adige rivers as silica sources [42,43]. On the other hand, in *façon-de-Venise* glass centers, glassmakers were usually using local silica sources for the glassmaking, e.g., [47–49]. Having this information in mind, the content of SiO₂, TiO₂, and Al₂O₃ can be of paramount importance in tracking the origin of raw material because they are the main components of silica sources.

For this part, the reduced composition (base glass, Table 2) is still used to compare our data with the data reported in the literature as the base glass has been considered closer to the original glass before the addition of glass colorants, e.g., [20,36,37].

In Figure 5, the chemical composition of the glass and the mineralogy of the glass-making sands are related. SiO₂ represents the quartz content, Al₂O₃ represents the amount of feldspars, and TiO₂ represents the heavy minerals present in silica sources [10,50]. In this graph, the area that was proposed to be the probable Lisbon production in Pulido Valente and co-authors' [18] work is marked. The possible Lisbon area has a higher amount of
feldspars when compared with the analyzed glass fragments from The Low Countries [51], Spain [10], and Venice [45,52].

<figure><img src="image_8.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 5.** Binary plot of TiO₂/Al₂O₃ and Al₂O₃/SiO₂ of SCV (blue circle) and SJT (green circle) glass fragments treated in this article and some contemporary glass fragments reported in the literature. The clusters are grouped based on the mineralogy of the glass-making sands. The area of the graph that belongs to a probable Lisbon production was published by Pulido Valente and co-authors [10,18,20,45,51,52].</figcaption></figure>

Interesting to highlight is the fact that the SJT assemblage is within or closer to the Lisbon area, and the SCV assemblages are spread through the graph. In the *millefiori* glass from the SCV context, including the previous work made by Augusta Lima and co-authors [20], about 50% of the glass layers (55 glass samples out of 113) are within the area previously proposed for Lisbon production.

In addition, while 3 glass layers analyzed by Lima and co-authors [20] do not match with any known glass production center, two layers belonging to blue glass body of SCV_365 and SCV_368 samples fall in the Granada region of the graph, and the remaining are distributed between Venetian and Dutch production.

From here onwards, the entire composition is being considered (e.g., with colorants, opacifiers, and related elements) (Table 2).

Figure 6 presents the relationship of zirconium (Zr) and hafnium (Hf). These elements have been extensively utilized to distinguish different sand quarries, as they are usually associated with felsic igneous rocks and are frequently used to distinguish different crustal processes because they are quite stable and resilient to chemical and mechanical destruction, e.g., [21,41,53]. It is broadly accepted that Venetian glass exhibits the lowest Zr content (<30 µg/g, whereas glass production centers of *façon-de-Venise* display higher levels of these elements [53–55]. This observation is linked to the fact that Venetian glassmakers enhanced the clarity of their glass by using high-quality raw materials, which include purer quartz sands, poorer in these elements [56].
<figure><img src="image_9.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 6.** Binary chart of zirconium vs. hafnium, with the area of Venetian production marked in the chart [21,41,47]. cl = clear; db = dark blue; g = green; p = purple; r = red; t = turquoise; w = white.</figcaption></figure>

To consolidate all the available data presented so far, it becomes evident that the number of glass layers associated with genuine Venetian production region on the graph can only be proposed for the following glass layers:

* Clear: SCV (394).

* Blue: SCV (250, 364, 366, and 394).

* Red: SCV (235, 250, 275 and 329).

* Turquoise: (SCV_364 and SCV_366).

* White: SCV (232, 250, 329, 360, 364, and 394); SJT (01 and 09).

## 3.2. Geochemical Patterns

Geochemical studies have been profusely used in provenance investigations because they are able to link the relative abundance of trace elements and REEs attributed to a certain region with the mineral origins of the silica sources used in glass production, e.g., [10,38,55,57].

Trace and REE analyses have also been employed in colored glass, as its REE contents in coloring do not significantly influence the geochemical patterns due to its insignificant amounts [58,59].

To obtain the geochemical pattern of a certain material, different normalizations can be made. In this case, the normalization of the considered trace elements and REEs was performed to (1) the upper Earth [60] and (2) carbonaceous chondrite normalization [60].

### 3.2.1. Normalization to Upper Earth

This normalization has been applied in some coeval glass provenance studies, e.g., [10,38,55,61].

Looking at the analyzed SCV and SJT samples normalized to the upper Earth crust, it was possible to identify four different geochemical patterns (GP) that can be seen in
<figure><img src="image_10.png" /><figcaption>Figure 7. Representative geochemical patterns presented in logarithmic scale of trace elements and rare earth elements (REEs) found in SCV and SJT glass samples, normalized to Earth's upper crust.</figcaption></figure>

The GP1 presents a positive anomaly in Nb and Eu elements and a negative anomaly in the Eu element.

Interesting to note is that GP1 is represented by the glass body and white (decoration) layers of the SCV_365 and SCV_368 samples. These glass layers have similar ratios of Ti₂O/Al₂O₃ and Al₂O₃/SiO₂ when compared to the samples from Granada (Figure 5) [10]. Can this GP be attributed to Spanish/Iberian production?

GP2 displays a positive anomaly in Zr and La elements, while in Eu and Lu elements, a negative anomaly was noted. In this group are represented the remaining analyzed glass layers of the SCV_365 (db/t) and SCV_368 (db/p/t) samples and all the analyzed layers of the SCV_388 (db/r/t/w) and SCV_216 (r/t/w) samples. This geochemical pattern represents about 16% of all the glass layers analyzed.

The GP3 is the most popular PG, representing around 41% (30 out of 73) of the analyzed layers (Table 3). This specific geochemical pattern was previously identified in glass production waste recovered from Santana Convent and Largo do Chafariz de Dentro contexts (in Lisbon) and have also been detected in other contemporary Portuguese contexts located in Lisbon, such as the Rua do Arsenal site [21], Largo do Chafariz de Dentro site in *filigree* glassware [22], and in some glass vessels with a gourd shape found in SCV [17]. This characteristic indicates that all these glass fragments were probably made in the same glass production center, or, at least, a related silica source was used.

GP4 is characterized by having negative anomalies in Nb, Eu, and Ta elements; being the second most abundant GP of the analyzed glass layers, it is present in almost 37% of glass layers. All the analyzed samples belong to the SJT context (SJT_001 and SJT_009) plus 20 different glass layers of SCV monastery (Table 3).

It is worth mentioning that more than 57% of the analyzed fragments (42 out of 73) share the same geochemical pattern in all layers, including the glass body: SCV_216 and SCV_388 of GP2; SCV_044, SCV_345, SCV_360, SCV_369, and SCV_375 of GP3; SCV_232, SCV_364, SJT_001, and SJT_009 of GP4 (Table 3).

This evidence can indicate that, for the considered fragments, the *murrine* canes and the glass body of the object were probably made in the same glass production center. This is an interesting result because glass beads/canes and objects have been studied separately and usually by different researchers.

In three *pick-up* fragments (SCV_046, SCV_236, and SCV_272), only the glass body of the fragment was analyzed because the decoration layer could not be accessed. Moreover, the SJT_009 (t) and SCV_394 (r and w) layers were removed from this part because they do not fit in any previously grouped GP, so it was considered that they do not characterize this assemblage because they are probably outliers.

Noting that although four different geochemical patterns were observed, all the analyzed samples were characterized by the presence of a clear negative Eu anomaly (Figure 7). This evidence is being attributed to the separation of Eu²⁺ from Eu³⁺ in melts under low oxygen pressure, forming plagioclase minerals and substituting calcium [60].
### 3.2.2. Carbonaceous Chondrite Normalization

This normalization is useful for comparison, as it can provide complementary information about the redox conditions of the mineral formation and variations in sand composition used in the production of these artifacts [58].

A chondritic normalization approach provides insights into the elemental composition of these samples, revealing an enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREEs) compared to heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) and exhibiting negative Eu anomalies (Figure 8). While the range of the negative Eu element anomaly (Eu/Eu* between 0.14 and 0.93) may be considered substantial in the analyzed samples, it is significantly notable because it agrees with the dispersed values observed so far.

<figure><img src="image_11.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 8.** Pattern representation of the chondrite normalization to REE of SCV and SJT glass fragments.</figcaption></figure>

The presence of this Eu anomaly, coupled with the concurrent enrichment of LREEs relative to HREEs, suggests that the silica sources used in the glass production originated from the weathering of granite-type rocks within the upper continental crust [57]. Moreover, weathered granite-type rocks with Eu/Eu* values ranging between 0.61 and 0.76 have been attributed to Venetian glass production [57,60].

Following this theory, about 40% of the samples from SCV and SJT archeological contexts (28 out of 76) present values of Eu/Eu* compatible with Venetian production (Table 4): SCV_044 (cl), SCV_216 (t), SCV_235 (cl), SCV_236 (cl), SCV_245 (cl/db), SCV_250 (db/r), SCV_272 (cl), SCV_275 (cl/r), SCV_357 (db/r), SCV_364 (db/r), SCV_365 (db), SCV_366 (t), SCV_368 (db/t), SCV_369 (db Body/db), SCV_375 (db/r), SCV_388 (db/r/t), SCV_394 (r), and SJT_001w.

cl = clear; b = blue; g = green; p = purple; r = red; t = turquoise; w = white. **Bold samples** represent the glass body layer. **Bold values of Eu/Eu*** represent the values that are compatible with Venetian glass production.

In the work developed by I. Coutinho and co-authors [62], some glasses were synthesized from sands and pebbles gathered from sedimentary deposits close to Coimbra and Côvo (Portuguese sites with documented glass production). In that work, the classification of silica sources as having granitic origin was also pointed out. The GP of those glasses were used to compare with historical samples, and three historical SCV glass samples studied presented on the work show a GP comparable with them. However, no SCV nor SJT *pick-up* glass fragments studied in this project present that pattern.

Interesting to note is when gathering the information of Eu/Eu* and the major oxides associated with silica sources (SiO<sub>2</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub>) that present results comparable to Venetian production (SCV_250b, SCV_250r, SCV_275r, SCV_364b, SCV_364r, SCV_366b, and SCV_366t), more than 70% (5 out of 7) show the GP4 (upper Earth normalization). This observation reinforces the theory that GP4 can be possibly linked to Venetian production.
### 3.3. All Layers Together

The glass fragments analyzed in this study are more complex than other types of glass objects because they are composed of several layers of different colored glasses (glass body and the *murrina* that has several layers). As mentioned in the previous section, different objects are presenting different geochemical patterns in different layers. This observation reinforces the theory that the same cane could be made with different glass compositions/recopies. For this reason, in this section, elemental µ-PIXE mappings were used to better understand how the different elements related to colors are distributed through the glass layers.

In Figure 9, we can distinguish the different concentrations of iron, copper, and lead across the glass layers. These metals are associated with different colors/properties in glass. The presence of the heavy metal lead not only influences the opaque appearance of glass, but it can change its structure and hence its properties. SCV_375 presents a high concentration of lead in the opacified layers only, while in sample SCV_250, lead is more homogeneously distributed in the opacified layer and with a different concentration (in the red and colorless section). This could raise the big question of how the glass makers of 17th century knew that these different glasses were compatible with each other (e.g., thermal compatibility/similar expansion coefficient) if they did not know the composition of the different glasses.

<figure><img src="image_12.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 9.** Elemental maps of SCV_375 and SCV_250 glass fragments acquired by using µ-PIXE.</figcaption></figure>

Another notable characteristic shown by this technique is that in the red-colored layers of SCV_375, iron and copper present different concentrations: the lower layer has a higher content of Fe, while the upper layer has a higher content of Cu (Figure 9). For the red glass layer of the SCV_250 fragment, it is curious that while under the cross-section, different hues of red color can be distinguished, the µ-PIXE elementary maps do not provide any compositional distinction between them. This observation may be justified by the low size of cuprite crystals making the glass less homogeneous; this subject will be better discussed later when the red color is presented. The presentation and discussion of each color will be made in the following parts.

#### 3.3.1. Naturally Colored Glass

In this section, clear glass encompasses all the glass that have “natural hues”: almost clear and transparent (SCV_250); clear and translucent (SCV_235, SCV_236, and SCV_245); grayish tint (SCV_044); greenish (SCV_046 and SCV_394); and yellowish (SCV_272 and SCV_275).
Regarding the alkali sources, the clear glasses that fall within the "Levantine plant ashes" region (Figure 4) display distinct intense natural hues: (1) greenish in SCV_394 murrine, (2) grayish in the glass body of SCV_044 little flask fragment, (3) greenish in the glass body of SCV_046 gourd-shaped vessel fragment, and (4) yellowish in the glass body of SCV_272 and SCV_275 fragments. Additionally, the clear glass within the *façon-de-Venise* region appear more discolored (e.g., SCV_235, SCV_236, and SCV_245). More decolorized and transparent is the SCV_250 glass body, which falls between the two correlated lines. These observations open some questions, such as: (1) Can this observation indicate that "clear" glass that was produced with the Levantine ashes composition, based on its fluxing agent, is a result of glass recycling or the color is intentionally produced? (2) If the answer is yes, why? (3) Is it linked to aesthetic issues or the preservation purpose of its content?

Looking to MnO and Fe₂O₃ contents, we can start understanding how these oxides will influence each color (Figure 10).

<figure><img src="image_13.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 10.** Binary chart of MnO vs. Fe₂O₃. * cl = clear; db = dark blue; g = green; p = purple; r = red; t = turquoise blue; w = white.</figcaption></figure>

Iron and manganese oxides can be unintentionally introduced in the glass matrix through raw-materials or deliberately added by the glassmakers to make clear or colored glass. Figure 10 presents a positive correlation between Fe₂O₃ and MnO in most clear, blue, green, purple, and white glasses. This evidence suggests that their presence in the glass matrix is probably unintentional, having been introduced through the raw materials.

The yellowish glass body layers of SCV_272 and SCV_275 fragments exhibit the highest concentration of both oxides (approximately 1.5 wt% of Fe₂O₃ and around 1 wt% of MnO). As the amount of manganese oxide is closer to 1 wt% (value that has been attributed to intentional addition), it is probable that the final color can be considered as an intentional semi-discoloration of glass [38,44].

In glass, iron can give a color that ranges from bluish, when ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) are predominant, to yellowish, when ferric ions (Fe³⁺) are predominant. Usually, the iron oxide gives a wide range of green color due to the presence of both ions in the glass matrix [63,64].

To discolorize a glass, manganese oxide could be introduced in the glass batch (usually by adding pyrolusite [MnO₂]) which oxidates the iron oxide (from Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺) [63]:

$$2\text{FeO} + \text{MnO}_2 = \text{MnO} + \text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3$$
As a result, the final glass becomes grayish or achromatic because purple (produced by the residual amount of Mn³⁺) and yellow (produced by the oxidation of Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺) are complementary colors.

Another possibility for this positive correlation (Figure 10) can be viewed as a recipe improvement whereas, the higher content of Fe₂O₃ in the glass batch requires an increased addition of MnO to oxidize the ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) into ferric ion (Fe³⁺) and thus convert MnO₂ into MnO (almost colorless) [20,63].

Manganese oxide also exhibits a strong coloring ability and can impart a deep purple hue, even at concentrations as low as 1.1 wt% when Mn³⁺ (Mn₂O₃) is prevalent [21]. However, its effects are highly dependent on the redox conditions within the furnace and the composition of the glass batch. Blue, red, and turquoise colors from the SCV_364 sample (*millefiori* cane) exhibit an MnO enrichment (around 1.7 wt%) when compared with other samples (Figure 10). This evidence can suggest that MnO was intentionally added into the glass batch to intensify the final color.

Finally, we observed that several natural hue samples present high concentrations of trace elements associated with (de)colorants (Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Au, Hg, and Pb oxides) between 100 and 1000 µg/g, which can be interpreted as glass recycling [56].

Based on this information, we can propose that the greenish color of SCV_0046 (small glass bottle with the Portuguese gourd shape) and SCV_394 (in the *murrine*) present re-cycling signs, as the content of PbO is higher than 1 wt%, and CuO and SnO₂ are near 1 wt%). Comparable amounts of PbO in clear glass fragments were previously reported in the literature on SCV glass fragments: (1) 2.83 wt% of PbO in the clear glass body of V_074 *splashed*-glass fragment (Figure 11) [20] and (2) 1.89 wt% of PbO in the glass body of the SCV_210 gourd-shaped vessel fragment [17].

<figure><img src="image_14.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 11.** Image of the glass fragment V_074 analyzed by Lima and co-authors [20].</figcaption></figure>

For the same reason, in the SCV_0044 (small bottle displaying a gray glass body) sample, the content of CoO (148 µg/g), PbO (386 µg/g), and SnO₂ (363 µg/g) are compatible with glass recycling.

Surprisingly, the yellowish glass body of SCV_272 and SCV_275 fragments exhibit low concentrations of CuO, SnO₂, Sb₂O₃, and PbO (all below 10 µg/g), which can indicate that no cullet was used in the glass production of these glasses.

Among all the clearest samples (SCV_235, SCV_236, SCV_245, and SCV_250), two of them seem to be less pure, the SCV_236 and SCV_245. These samples present contents of PbO, SnO₂, and CuO (all above 100 µg/g), suggesting the addition of cullet to the raw materials, while the contents of these oxides on SCV_235 and SCV_250 samples are consistent with natural content coming through the raw materials.

In Figure 12, six UV-Vis absorption spectra of different clear glass bodies reveal the discernible influence of Co²⁺ and Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions within the glass matrix. The octahedral Fe²⁺ can be observed, with its broad band centered around 1100 nm, and tetrahedral Fe³⁺
has typical absorption bands at 380 nm, 420 nm, and 440 nm [64]. Also, the presence of cobalt, mainly observed in SCV_236 and SCV_245 fragments (CoO = 73 ppm and 36 ppm, respectively), can be detected by the presence of the bands at 540 nm, 590 nm, and 640 nm.

<figure><img src="image_15.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 12.** UV-Vis absorption spectrum of the clear glass body performed on SCV (235, 236, 245, 250, 272, and 275) fragments, revealing the discernible influence of Co²⁺ and Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions within the glass matrix.</figcaption></figure>

It is interesting to point out that, according to M. Volf [63], small amounts of cobalt oxide could be intentionally added to the glass batch to remove the faint yellow color. Can this explain the high content of CoO, SnO₂, and PbO in the clear glass of the SCV_044 sample (by the addition of smalt)? Although the presence of cobalt oxide in clear glass is not common, it has been reported in few contemporaneous *façon de Venise* glasses found in Portugal, e.g., [21].

Both yellowish glass bodies (SCV_272 and SCV_275) are more influenced by iron ions than the colorless glass body of SCV_250, indicating that the clear glass bodies of SCV_236 and SCV_245 are clearly influenced by cobalt (73 µg/g and 36 µg/g, respectively) and iron (0.93 wt% and 0.76 wt%, respectively).

### 3.3.2. Colored Glass Layers

Concerning the colored glass, LA-ICP-MS, UV-Vis Absorbance and Reflectance Spectroscopies, and µ-RAMAN provided information about the colorants that were added to clear glass to color it: cobalt for blue, iron and copper for red, copper for turquoise, and a combination of lead and tin oxides (originating cassiterite clusters) for white. These colorants were very popular in contemporary glassmaking and several glass recipe books attest to their applications, e.g., Darduin, Dell'arte del vetro per musaico, Ricette vetrarie del Rinascimento (also known as Anonimo), Trattatelli [44,52,65].

#### BLUE

The blue color observed in *millefiori* glassware is attributed to the presence of CoO within the glass matrix. The analyzed assemblage reveals that all blue glass bodies from the SCV context and SJT_01 sample contain CoO values lower than 0.11 wt%. This content of cobalt oxide aligns with blue-blown glassware reported in the literature [52]. In contrast, the SJT_09 glass body (0.19 wt% of CoO) and all blue glasses used in the decoration display CoO levels ranging from 0.1 to 0.45 wt%. These values are comparable to those found in beads [57], enamels [36], and Portuguese, glazed tiles [66].

As pointed out in a Venetian *splashed* vessel studied by M. Verità and S. Zecchin [52], the CoO content detected in the decoration is typically higher than what is found in the
blue glass body because the original color of the decoration must be preserved even if it is applied thinly.

The UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy analyses were performed in all blue layers of the selected samples to determine the ions that contribute to the final color of the blue and bluish glass layers.

Besides cobalt (Co²⁺), the ions of copper (Cu²⁺) and iron (Fe²⁺/³⁺) also influence the blue glass layers of the examined artifacts, as illustrated in Figure 13 for the SCV_357, SCV_365, and SCV_400 samples.

<figure><img src="image_16.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 13.** UV-Vis absorption spectrum of blue glass layers performed on SCV_357, SCV_265, and SCV_400 fragments revealing the discernible influence of cobalt (Co²⁺), copper (Cu²⁺), and iron (Fe³⁺) ions within the glass matrix.</figcaption></figure>

For all the presented blue glass bodies, a triple band located around 530 nm, 590 nm, and 640 nm can be observed. This triple band characterizes the cobalt ions in 3d⁷ electronic configuration with tetrahedral coordination [64]. Considering that the geometry of the ligand around the chromophore can slightly change in different glass samples, the shift of the three bands associated with Co²⁺ in soda-lime-silica glass appears at 535, 595, and 640 nm.

This configuration of cobalt ions has a high extinction coefficient and, for that reason, is very visible in the UV-Vis analysis even at very low concentrations, when compared with other techniques as, for instance, XRF, EDS, or PIXE [64,67].

Additionally, the spectra reveal other peaks related to iron. In SCV_357, the characteristic absorption bands of ferric ion (Fe³⁺) at 380, 420, and 440 nm and the ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) with its broad band at around 1100 nm [64] probably contributed to the hue. When viewed with the naked eye, SCV_357 and SCV_400 blue tones are quite similar.

To try to predict the origin of mineral cobalt, some oxides have been profusely used: NiO, ZnO, As₂O₃, and Bi, e.g., [37,68,69]. Apart from the SCV_394 fragment, all the blue samples have contents of NiO (0.009–0.12 wt%), ZnO (0.004–0.02 wt%), As₂O₃ (0.05–0.52 wt%), and Bi (0.01–0.51 wt%) associated with CoO. These results indicate that these objects were probably produced after the 1520/30 decade and that the cobalt ore was imported from Schneeberg, e.g., [37,68,69]. In contrast, the SCV_394 blue glass body has an absence of As₂O₃. This observation is viewed as a timeline indicator (before 1520/30) because it is linked with the calcination process of cobalt ore before its addition to the
glass batch, as the arsenic is a volatile oxide [68,69]. Due to this As₂O₃ absence, it is possible to propose that this glass object was probably produced before 1520/30 by using the oldest recipe.

## GREEN

The green glass of the SCV_232 fragment is the consequence of the presence of Co²⁺ (CoO = 0.016 wt%) and Cu²⁺ (CuO = 0.229 wt%).

The content of PbO (0.35 wt%) and SnO₂ (0.42 wt%) suggests that cullet may have been used in this glass layer or that these elements were being diffused from the adjacent white layer during the working time, when the glassmaker fused the decoration to the glass body and manipulated the object being created.

In Figure 14, the first band of Co²⁺, located at 540 nm, is nearly imperceptible at first glance. However, upon closer examination, a slight increase around 540 nm can be seen. The broad band of Cu²⁺ with a maximum wavelength located between 780 and 810 nm is also shown in Figure 14.

<figure><img src="image_17.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 14.** The UV-Vis absorption spectrum of green glass layer performed on the SCV_232 fragment revealing the discernible influence of cobalt (Co²⁺) and copper (Cu²⁺) ions within the glass matrix.</figcaption></figure>

## PURPLE

The analyzed purple glass layer of SCV_368 sample is almost black (Figure 15) and has the following amount of colored oxides: MnO = 0.76 wt%, Fe₂O₃ = 1.34 wt%, CoO = 0.30 wt%, CuO = 0.05 wt%, SnO₂ = 0.07 wt%, and PbO = 0.05 wt%. This spectrum is very saturated, so the bands representing the different ions are difficult to distinguish.

While the UV-Vis spectrum (Figure 15) is really saturated, presenting a broad band between 350 and 650 nm that masks the main chromophores, we can combine the chemical composition of the colorants with the information gathered from Figure 15. According to the consulted literature, Mn³⁺ presents a broad band at 450/500 nm that can mask the triple band of Co²⁺ located at 530, 590, and 640 nm by considering the sum of all the bands [64]; so, the spectrum is not incompatible with the presence of MnO, Fe₂O₃, CoO, and CuO, and it can be considered an envelope of the spectra of the respective ions, where the presence of Mn³⁺ and Co²⁺ is more apparent.

RED

For all the analyzed red glass layers, the micro particles of copper were detected and, while this type of glass is tricky to produce, this color has been used since the Roman times [70,71].

In reduced conditions, metallic micro particles of copper (Cu⁰) or crystals of cuprite (Cu₂O) precipitate on the glass matrix, and a red color is formed [20,70]. Historical recipes suggest that, besides copper oxide, glassmakers added, iron, antimony, lead, and tin oxides to the glass batch, as they can act as reducing agents [20,46,70].

The analyzed red samples show amounts of CuO (0.59–2.41 wt%), Fe₂O₃ (0.98–4.70 wt%), SnO₂ (0.048–4.71 wt%), Sb₂O₃ (0.003–0.014 wt%), and PbO (0.05–6.06 wt%), which are compatible with those reported in the literature for coeval red glass artifacts, e.g., [20,52,71].

This type of glass is characterized by having a broad band around 330 and 770 nm in the UV-Vis absorption spectrum [64], as noted in all the red glasses analyzed in this project (Figure 16a).

In the SCV and SJT fragments, only the red decoration belonging to the SCV_245 sample presents several layers of red, turquoise, white, and clear glass under the cross-section (Figure 16b). Under the surface, it is possible to note that this decoration has several hues, probably indicating that these layers were intentionally produced. This observation may indicate that the SCV_245 fragment, initially attributed to a *splashed* glass, has a *millefiori* decoration; although, the drawing of the pattern is impossible to determine.

However, it is also plausible that this red glass layer was not so homogeneous, or the red-ox conditions were not enough to achieve the ideal conditions for the formation of nanoparticles of copper/cuprite [70]. Similar layers of red and transparent glass were also observed in a red glass body found in the Santana monastery in Lisbon [18].

(b) Close-up of the SCV_245 fragment under the surface and cross-section.</figcaption></figure>

TURQUOISE

The turquoise glass belonging to the selected SCV and SJT fragments have a CuO content between 0.19 and 7.97 wt%. This amount of copper oxide is in line with what has been reported in the literature for coeval *millefiori* glass [20] and glass beads [72] of the 15th and 17th centuries.

This color, produced by the presence of $Cu^{2+}$ ion, is obtained under oxidizing conditions, and the characteristic broad band of UV-Vis absorption spectrum is located between 780 and 810 nm (Figure 17), which corresponds to octahedral coordination of a $3d^9$ electrical configuration [64,67,71].

<figure><img src="image_20.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 17.** UV-Vis absorption spectrum of the turquoise glass body of the SCV_216 fragment revealing the discernible influence $Cu^{2+}$ ions into the glass matrix.</figcaption></figure>

As pointed by M. Costa and co-authors [57], the amount of PbO has a significant impact on the final turquoise color. Most of the analyzed fragments have low contents of lead oxide, ranging between 0.09 and 1.86 wt%, while the turquoise glass layer of SCV_366 (*millefiori* cane) have 8.16 wt% of PbO. Although this turquoise color may not appear visibly distinct from the others, simultaneous detection of $SnO_2$ (8.50 wt%) suggests that both lead and tin oxides were likely added to the glass batch for opacification purposes, as was also observed in some tubular blue glass beads of the Nueva Cadiz type unearthed in the
Lisbon city center [73]. The other fragments have SnO₂ contents that range between 0.06 and 2.07 wt%.

WHITE

In the 16th century, Venetian glassmakers were using tin- and antimony-based opacifiers to make white glass [20,52].

The white glass layers of the *pick-up* glass fragments of the SCV and SJT archeological contexts have SnO₂ (4.34–30.57 wt.%) and PbO (7.73–22.04 wt.%) and less than 0.01 wt. % of Sb₂O₃ as major components, which indicates that all white samples were opacified with a tin-based component.

White opaque glass displays a notable heterogeneity, characterized by the presence of white opaque clusters of diverse sizes dispersed within the glass matrix (Figure 18a). The study of these opaque white particles was carried out via µ-Raman microscopy.

<figure><img src="image_21.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 18.** (a) Optical microscope image of the SCV_250 glass sample where the coarse, white particles can be observed. (b) Raman spectrum of cassiterite (SnO₂) and (c) Raman spectrum of malayaite (CaSnOSiO₄).</figcaption></figure>

The Raman spectra performed on these white clusters allowed for the identification of the presence of cassiterite in all the analyzed samples and, for the SCV_245 and SCV_250 samples, some malayaite crystals were also detected (Figure 18b,c).

White, opaque glass opacified with cassiterite (tin dioxide) clusters was introduced in Venetian glass recipes at the beginning of the 15th century and began to be profusely used in the most important glass objects like in the white threads of *filigrana* glass canes, enamels, and to make *lattimo* glass, which imitated Chinese porcelain, e.g., [7,20,52,74].

This compound has a characteristic Raman signature at 635 cm⁻¹ and 775 cm⁻¹, and, frequently, a less intense pike at 474 cm⁻¹ can also be observed [20,21,75] (Figure 18b).

*Cassiterite* clusters were also detected in contemporaneous white glaze of Portuguese tiles [66], beads found in the African [57] and American [72] continents, enamels [36,37], and mosaic tesserae [65].

The presence of malayaite (CaSnSiO₄) in the SCV_245 and SCV_250 samples (Figure 18c) is confirmed by its characteristic Raman bands at 571 cm⁻¹, 365 cm⁻¹, and 322 cm⁻¹ [76]. The formation of this tin mineral is a consequence of the presence of equimolar parts of CaO, SiO₂, and SnO₂ and its development can be favored in the presence of transition metal ions [66,76]. The proximity of the opaque white layers to, respectively, red and blue layers could have promoted the formation of this mineral.

Although calcium antimoniate was not detected in the analyzed samples, this compound was observed in contemporaneous glass fragments in two *millefiori* glass samples found in the SCV context with an attributed genuine Venetian production [20] and in a genuine Venetian glass goblet with a *splashed* decoration [52]. This observation provides evidence that during the Renaissance period, although antimony components seemed to be favored as an opacifier among Venetian glassmakers, they were still using tin in the production of coeval glass objects.
### 3.4. Morphological Characterization of Millefiori Fragments

While only 15 *millefiori* glass fragments from the SCV archeological site plus 2 *millefiori* glass fragments found in the SJT context were selected to be analyzed, the morphological characterization will include the total of the entire *millefiori* glasses of the SCV assemblage that were previously studied [7], which means that 276 more fragments will be included. Considering the SCV and SJT contexts, at least 31 *millefiori* glass objects were calculated [7].

The identification of the *murrina* original patterns can be a challenge because the fragment can be too degraded (e.g., SCV_222 and SCV_389 fragments in Figure 19) or the sliced cane can appear rolled (e.g., SCV_232 fragment in Figure 19) due to the production process of *millefiori* glass (consult [1], p. 6 for a deeper understanding of how to produce *millefiori* glass). These unidentified patterns were considered as "undetermined" in the classification.

<figure><img src="image_22.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 19.** Images of the different groups of decoration patterns belonging to the *millefiori* glass fragments found in the SCV and SJT contexts (* represent the glass fragments that were not compositionally analyzed).</figcaption></figure>
The study of the different glass patterns of the *millefiori* fragments gathered from the SCV and SJT contexts will be discussed according to its abundance based on the estimated glass objects.

The different patterns identified in the samples are divided in *flower*, *rosette*, *caravel*, *cross*, *rosette with cross*, and *hybrid* (Figure 19).

The observed frequency of the different patterns is in accordance with P. Hollister's [77] investigations, apart from the "undetermined" group, that gathers more than 40% of the patterns (18 out of 44); the "rosette" pattern is the most popular with a representativity of more than 25% (11 out of 44) with or without a cross in the core. This value is followed by the "hybrid" (4 out of 44), "flower" (3 out of 44), and "cross" patterns (2 out of 44).

The less common "caravel" pattern detected twice in the SCV_017 glass fragment (1 out of 44) was also observed in a glass fragment found in the Santana Convent (Lisbon) [18]. Although this sample was not analyzed in this study, this is considered to be a remarkable finding, as *caravels* and the *cross of Christ* have a huge importance in the Portuguese identity of the 17th century. They represent the Portuguese expansions, one of the main objectives of which was evangelism. The cross of Christ, also known as cross of Portugal (Figure 19, SJT_009 fragment), was the symbol used by the military Order of Christ, inheriting the knowledge and the patrimony of the Order of Templars dissolved by Pope Clement V in 1312 [29]. This cross was used in the coeval Portuguese caravel sails, coins, and as architectural ornaments, but it is still in use today by entities such as the Portuguese Air Force in the aircrafts and in the Portuguese Navy ships.

Although no parallel with our *flowers* or *hybrid* (half a cross/half a flower) patterns were discovered in *millefiori* glass objects/fragments outside Portugal [1], these decorative patterns were profusely used as architectural ornaments whether in Portugal or abroad.

Also, it is interesting to point out that two canes were also detected in the SCV context (Figure 20). Can these fragments be viewed as a consequence of glass working? Can SCV_366 be used in the *murrine* of the SCV_368 sample (Figure 19)?

<figure><img src="image_23.png" /><figcaption>**Figure 20.** Image of the cross-section of the SCV_364 and SCV_366 glass canes.</figcaption></figure>

### 3.5. *Summary*

All the studied colored glass layers are in accordance with contemporary glass compositions reported in the literature for Venetian and *façon-de-Venise* glass of the 17th century.

Although all the 76 analyzed glass layers can be considered to be of the soda-lime-silica type (the most used in Venetian and *façon-de-Venise* glass artifacts), different groups of alkali sources were detected: 44% (33 out of 76) were considered a mixture of halophytic plant ashes, 36% (27 out of 76) fall in the *façon-de-Venise* region of the graph (Figure 4), and
only 20% (15 out of 76) were made by using Levantine ashes, of which only half (7 glass layers) were purified.

This result (20% of Levantine ashes) is surprisingly low because *millefiori* glass is usually attributed to a Venetian production, and Venetian glass makers were only allowed to use the best raw materials in the finest objects. This evidence opened some questions, like:

* Could it be that this is true for colorless glass but does not apply to colored glass, since a greenish tint may not have much influence on the final color of cobalt blue or copper red, for instance? The truth is that purified Levantine ashes were detected in clear (3 layers), blue- (2 layers), and white (2 layers)-colored glass and in clear (2 layers), blue- (2 layers), red- (2 layers), turquoise- (1 layer), and white (1 layer)-colored glass made with unpurified Levantine ashes (Table 4).

Considering the oxides related to silica sources and comparing our results with the reported information gathered from the literature, only 4 layers belong to Venetian production; another 4 are placed in the Two Roses, a Dutch glasshouse; and 15 glass layers fall between the Venetian and Two Roses regions of the graph (Figure 5 and Table 4). The Granada region of the graph is represented by 2 glass layers plus 2 glass layers that fall between Granada and Two Roses. The proposed Lisbon area is represented by almost 60% (39 fall in the Lisbon region and 6 nearby, giving in total, 45 samples) of the analyzed glass layers (Figure 5 and Table 4).

By the normalization of trace and REEs to Earth's upper crust, four different geochemical patterns were detected (Figure 7), which can indicate that four different geochemical settings were used in the glass production of these glass fragments. Gathering all the information presented in this section, it is interesting to note that some samples where Levantine ashes were used cannot be considered Venetian production due to its high amount of titanium and alumina oxides (SCV_044cl/SCV_046cl/SCV_250b/SCV_272cl/SCV_275cl/SCV_365b/SCV_365w/SCV_368b/SCV_368w/SCV_388w/SCV_394cl, the highlighted samples belong to the glass body).

In the samples that have some glass layers compatible with Venetian production, according to the amount of alkali and silica sources (SCV_235r/SCV_250b/SCV_250t/SCV_275r/SCV_366b/SCV_394b), they belong to the PG4.

Surprisingly, none of the analyzed fragments can be attributed to Venetian production, as the composition of only a few layers match with the values reported in the literature for Venetian glass artifacts. In addition, some glass layers, which are comparable to Venetian production, do not belong to the finest fragments, such as the *splashed* fragments displaying a yellowish glass body (SCV_235r/SCV_275r) and one layer of the *murrine* cane (SCV_366b). Moreover, although the glass body of the SCV_250 fragment is incredibly transparent, the decorative patterns of this sample and of the SCV_394 sample are not very detailed (Table 4).

Three glass layers (SCV_216w, SCV_360b, and SCV_360b) have compositions of alkali and silica sources that are compatible with the Dutch production, here represented by the Two Roses glasshouse [51]. However, for these layers, two different GPs were detected: 2 and 3 (Table 4). In the same sample, SCV_360 displays an amazing and detailed flower and hybrid decorative patterns (Figures 2 and 19), and, in all the other glass layers, the detected GP is the GP3 (Table 4), which was suggested to have a Lisbon attribution [18] due to the compatibility of 8 *pick-up* glass fragments and 4 glass production remains, which were found in two different archeological contexts in Lisbon where this geochemical pattern was detected for the first time.

Regarding the samples that have a glass body that does not match with all or a part of the *murrine*'s layers (e.g., SCV_216 or SCV_235), this observation can be considered an indication that different glass origins and/or different glass recipes were combined to create the intricate designs that can be observed in the considered *pick-up* glass objects. Different glass recipes applied to the glass body and the different layers of *murrine* were also previously noted by Augusta Lima [20] for some SCV *millefiori* glass fragments from the SCV context and by Verità and Zecchin [52] on a Venetian *splashed* glass goblet dated to the 16th Century.
The GP1 was only found in the SCV_365 and SCV_368 glass bodies and white layers. This glass is comparable with the production remains found in Granada [10], regarding the alkali and silica sources (Table 4). Can this observation indicate that these fragments have a Spanish origin? Although further analyses must be conducted to propose a Spanish/Iberian origin for these fragments, this is an interesting result that cannot be overlooked.

GP2 was only detected in all glass layers belonging to SCV_216 and SCV_388, as well as in 5 other glass layers (Table 4). Yet, this GP is not associated with any glass production center, and no specific morphological characteristics were detected.

GP3 represents about 41% (30 out of 73) of total analyzed layers and was only detected in the SCV assemblage. This pattern is represented in all layers of 7 fragments (SCV_044/SCV_245/SCV_275/SCV_357/SCV_360/SCV_369/SCV_375) that display a wide range of quality regarding the color choice of the glass body (blue, clear, grayish, and yellowish) and decorative motives (from undetailed, decorative patterns like the SCV_044 fragment to a more detailed pattern like the SCV_360 fragments).

In addition, this GP was also detected in the glass body of other samples, such as SCV_235, SCV_236, SCV_250, SCV_329, and SCV_394. This result can mean that while the different colored glass layers belonging to the *murrine* of these last fragments can be imported from other glass production centers, the objects were made in the same production center of, e.g., SCV_044 and SCV_360 samples or, at least, by using the same/related geological silica source.

This GP was detected in some glass slags found in Lisbon which match with some *filigrana* and *pick-up* glass fragments found in this city and in some gourd-shaped vessels. Based on this evidence, and due to no known foreign parallel being reported in the consultied literature, we are able to propose that GP3 may be linked to a Portuguese production, as suggested in previous studies [1].

GP4 is the second-most-abundant GP, representing more than 37% of the total analyzed glass layers (27 out of 73). It is composed of fragments found in both contexts (SCV and SJT) and is present in all the analyzed layers of SCV_232, SCV_364, SCV_366, and SJT_001 fragments (Table 4). Interesting to note is that, both the SCV_366 and SJT_001 fragments have a high quality regarding the detailed decorative pattern.

Gathering all the information we obtained about silica sources reported in Table 4 (major components, GP and Eu/Eu*), it is interesting to note that only the GP4 can be associated with Venetian production. This observation allows us to propose that GP4 is maybe linked with Venetian production.

Other information that must be discussed here is the SJT_009 glass fragment that presents the important symbol of the cross of Christ. In this fragment, GP4 was detected in all the analyzed glass layers. However, the amount of alumina (higher than 2 wt%) is not consistent with the values attributed to Venetian production. To our knowledge, no parallels regarding this geochemical pattern is known, so the attribution to Venetian production cannot be made for this glass artifact.

Interesting to point out is that, for the natural greenish glass body of SCV_046 fragment that present a *gourd shape*, the GP4 was detected (Figure 7). As the gourd shape has been attributed to Portuguese production [17], this geochemical pattern can also perhaps be linked to a Portuguese origin. Beyond the gourd-shaped vessel, some layers belonging to SCV_232 (Body, r, w) and SCV_394 (r, w) fragments that present some undefined *rosette* pattern were also detected. Moreover, parts of the SCV_364 (r, t, w) *murrine* cane and the yellowish glass body of SCV_272 fragment also present the GP4 characteristics. All these fragments seem to have less quality when compared with other fragments like SCV_360, SCV_368, or SJT_009. This observation suggests that it is quite difficult to make a Venetian attribution as coeval Venetian glass objects are well known by their high quality and perfection.

Considering the glass chromophores presented in colored glass, some observations can be noted:
* **Blue** is mainly influenced by Co²⁺, while Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺/³⁺, and MnO were also detected in some samples.

* **Green** is produced due to an equilibrium between Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions.

* **Purple** was only observed once (SCV_368 sample), and Co²⁺ and MnO contributed to the final color.

* **Red** was formed under reduced conditions which favored the development of copper nanoparticles of Cu¹⁰ and Cu₂O dispersed in the glass matrix.

* **Turquoise** was achieved in an oxidizing environment which favored the development of Cu²⁺ ions.

* **White** glass layers were obtained by the addition of lead and tin oxides to the base glass, favoring the growing of cassiterite and malayaite crystals.

**4. Conclusions and Future Work**

The studied *pick-up* glass fragments were selected according to their representativeness, considering the range of colors, different decorative patterns, and the shape of the original object.

All the analyzed glass layers are of soda–lime–silica type, a composition that is in accordance with what is expected for historical glass dated to the 17th century.

The alkali source used in these samples were halophytic plant ashes (plants that grow in arid regions or near the sea and have a high sodium content). They were divided into different groups, with the composition related to the alkali sources compatible with the addition of the following: (1) purified Levantine ashes; (2) unpurified Levantine ashes; (3) Façon-de-Venise, which is usually attributed to barilla plant ashes; and (4) a mixture of ashes (or a semi-purification process).

On the other hand, the data related to the silica source shows high dispersion (Figure 5). While the SJT samples are in the Lisbon area or nearby, SCV glass layers are dispersed throughout the chart, which is related to the diverse mineralogy of the glassmaking sands. This was confirmed by the detection of 4 different GPs.

Apart from GP4, which is present in both contexts, the remaining were detected only in the SCV glass fragments.

The heterogeneity of the SCV assemblage can be linked to the historical importance of this site, as it was here that the only Queen declared a saint by the Catholic church wanted to be entombed. Her canonization happened in 1625; this event must have attracted many pilgrims who potentially donated objects to pay for their promises. In addition, we know that the wealthiest nuns belonging to the noble families and upper bourgeoisie brought their personal and luxurious belongings when they joined this monastery. It is worth noting that, according to historical documentation, at least one glass furnace was working near the convent [31].

GP1 was associated with the data reported for the Granada furnace, with regard to the major elements associated with silica sources (SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and TiO₂). Two glass samples from the SCV (SCV_365 and SCV_368) contexts presented these characteristics.

GP2 was only detected in 16% of the analyzed glass layers, and no parallels were found.

The most detected GP in this study was the GP3. This pattern represented about 41% of the total analyzed glass layers and was linked to some glass slags and *pick-up* glass fragments found in two different archeological contexts located in Lisbon. The glass fragments belonging to GP3 were dispersed by all the different areas of the alkali sources graph (Figure 4). Looking to the major oxides associated with silica sources (SiO₂, TiO₂, and Al₂O₃), we could conclude that, while the glass layers are dispersed throughout the graph, more than 80% of the glass layers belonging to PG3 fall in the Lisbon region or nearby. This result can suggest that these fragments may have a Portuguese origin.

Here, it is important to mention that while historical documentation suggests that some Portuguese glass productions attained a level of quality comparable to Venetian
production, the absence of archeological evidence regarding the production furnaces and associated artifacts hinders a definitive attribution of GP3 to Portuguese glass production.

The second most popular GP belongs to the GP4. This group is composed of glass fragments of both archeological contexts (SCV and SJT), and, while no parallel for this pattern was found, it is interesting to note that more than 22% of these layers can be considered of Venetian production according to the main oxides attributed to silica sources (SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and TiO₂). In this group is also one of the most important glass objects studied in this project—the SJT_009 fragment—because of the huge symbolical meaning for the Portuguese identity of the decorative pattern: the cross of Christ, also known as the cross of Portugal. This decorative pattern does not have any parallel outside, but the Venetian attribution was discarded due to its high alumina values (higher than 2%).

In GP4, a possible Portuguese production was also pointed out due to the greenish glass body of the gourd-shaped SCV_046 fragment, which has been attributed Portuguese origin.

In addition, more data related with trace and rare earth elements taken from glass fragments/objects of this historical period are needed to propose more accurate conclusions. To our knowledge, the data related with titanium oxide and GP are limited for the main glass production centers (Venice, Bohemia, France, Low Countries, England, or the Iberian Peninsula) of the Modern period. More attention needs to be paid to these glass objects in order to better value and preserve them.
