Abstract
Portuguese faience has been found in Old Goa in two different contexts. The St. Augustine complex was excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India while the finds from the urban centre were identified during a field survey. Although the Portuguese settle in this region in early 16th century the Portuguese faience found indicates later chronologies and no object could be dated prior to mid-17th century. Most of the objects corresponds to everyday wares in Portugal though the
value of such objects has to be discussed when reaching overseas destinations. The lower amount of faience found is clearly relates to the abundance of Chinese porcelain which was widely available.
