abstract = {It has long been assumed that lead glazing technology preceded glassmaking in the
Western world and that the technological transfer was from glazes to glass. Here, we
present new evidence for the reverse, the indigenous innovation of glassmaking and its
transfer to glazes in early Islamic al-Andalus (Spain). Compositional analyses show that
Islamic lead glazes from Córdoba are intimately related to a distinct type of high-lead
glass, suggesting a connection between the two technologies. The archaeological remains
from a pottery workshop indicate that the glazing process initially involved the
production of a lead glass and is not linked to earlier Roman or other contemporary
glazing technologies. The data also demonstrate that the potters not only used the same
materials and techniques but borrowed stylistic and decorative models from glassmaking.},
