A History and Description of Italian Majolica by M. L. Solon, page 82, 1907, London. Guasti quotes from a letter by Lorenzo Pier-Francesco de Medici [dated about 1498]... asking for a supply of "the white clay used by the Genoese potters with which to coat the vases before they are dry." This document is of importance... showing that the use of stanniferous enamel [tin-glaze] was not yet in question, for the request has a direct reference to the making of mezza-majolica [white clay applied to undried body].
