Spanish term or phrase: cocción oxidante
A text about pre-Columbian ceramics:

Entre estos objetos se destaca un conjunto de más de 30 cuencos o escudillas con pie, y decoración pintada. Son de factura delicada, de pasta fina y paredes delgadas, obtenidos en una atmósfera de cocción oxidante.

This seems to be a specific kind of baking or kilning technique, with a degree of exposure to oxygen and at a certain temperature. I found descriptions in Spanish, but no translation.

Many thanks

oxidation firing
Explanation:
A firing where the atmosphere inside the kiln has sufficient supplies of oxygen to react with the glaze and clay body surfaces (and thus produce the colors characteristic of this).
