This paper describes research on the technological evolution of glazedceramics with a metallic lustre decoration starting from their emergence in theNear East until the Hispano-Moresque productions. That research covers the mainknown Islamic production sites and periods: Abbasid (Mesopotamia); Fatimid(Egypt); Timurid, Mongol, and Safavid (Iran); Ayyubid and Mamluk (Syria);Nasrid and Hispano-Moresque (Spain). It was allowed by the access to more thanhundred full preserved objects or fragments supplied by French national museums(Mus\'ee du Louvre DAI, Mus\'ee national du Moyen Age, Mus\'ee national deC\'eramique). The characterisation of the composition and structure of theceramics and of their decoration is mostly done through non-destructiveanalyses methods. The thickness and metal content of the surface lustre layersare quantified thanks to ion beam analyses performed on a particle accelerator:PIXE (particle-induced X-ray emission) for the terracotta and glazescomposition and RBS (Rutherford backscattering spectrometry) for the thicknessand metal content of the lustre surface layers. The preliminary results showthat the features of the decorated ceramics have undergone dramatic variationswhen transmitted from a production to another, not only, as expected, in thecomposition of terracotta and glazes, but also in the thickness, the structureand the composition distribution of the lustre layers.
