Rare alkali element contamination of medieval vitreous materials by both the crucible ceramic and fuel vapour are shown in this work. Systematic recycling of old cullet, using crucibles made from clay from the Central Iberian Massif, resulted in unique trace element patterns that can serve as identifiers of Iberian glass processing.
