Comentarios: Fig Springs Polychrome, originally defined by John Goggin in 1968, is also know as "San Juan Polychrome". It is one of the earliest American-made majolicas, and is part of the Mexico City "Fine Ware" majolica category, which came into production around 1540. It does not appear regularly in Florida or Caribbean contexts until after about 1575.
