Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Medieval glassmaking
English term or phrase: alkalia
In addition, Venetians imported the essential ingredients for glassmaking, such as cullet and alkalia, from Islamic lands in the southern and eastern Mediterranean.

I can't find any evidence for 'alkalia': can anyone give me a clue on what it is and how it could be translated into Italian?
Thanks a lot!
