Hard-fired, gritty reddish fabric.
Material from the kilns at Porto dos Cacos show a coarse fabric containing frequent grains of quartz, long strands of mica and a scatter of discrete grains of felspar (plagioclase, microcline and potash). Material from Quinto de Rouxinol is in a similar fabric to the above but lacks the larger quartz grains, larger strands of mica and felspars.
