“…Both factors can be characteristic for a recipe and thus a region and/or a period, and provides unique information on fabrication techniques, uses and trade at this time. The composition of ancient glasses has been extensively used to determine geographical and temporal origins . Transition‐metal (TM) ions play a major role in the color of glasses, one of their most attractive properties.…”

Spectroscopic Investigation of the Coloration and Fabrication Conditions of Medieval Blue Glasses

Potash‐ and soda‐lime‐stained glasses from the 12th–13th centuries, blue‐colored by cobalt, have been investigated by Mn, Fe, and Cu K‐edge X‐ray and optical absorption spectroscopies in order to determine the oxidation state of these elements and their impact on the blue color. Remelting these historical glasses in air at 1200°C, the estimated temperature of medieval furnaces, revealed that these four glasses are more reduced before remelting. This favors Mn as weakly absorbing Mn2+, Fe as Fe2+ and Cu as colorless Cu+. Therefore Fe2+ is the second blue chromophore and copper was not intentionally used by glassmakers to obtain a blue color. A colorimetric analysis indicates that these specific melting conditions have a limited effect on the blue color of these glasses. Based on the spectroscopic determination of the redox state of Fe, Mn, and Cu, we estimate the oxygen partial pressure in medieval furnaces to be 10−7–10−9 and 10−5 bar for the potash‐ and soda‐lime samples, respectively. The comparison with previous results enables to prove the evolution of furnace technology over centuries.

“…SEM-EDS have known and have used the general analytical method in research of ancient glass. [13][14][15] Prior to analysis, we verify the accuracy and precision of EDS by analyzing standard glass specimen Corning B and MBH/231GS 6, and EPMA mineral standard (SPI #02753-AB) Albite. For primary chemical elements of glass (with content 5% and above) -silica, soda, lime and alumina -our instrument had accuracy and precision lower than 9.6% and 4.1%, respectively (Table 1).…”

From Neungsalli Temple located in Buyeo, ancient glass vessel fragments were discovered along with hundreds of glass beads. In this research, we used SEM-EDS to analyze glass vessel fragments and beads excavated from Neungsalli Temple. Then, we analyzed their chemical composition and examined their characteristics. In particular, we investigated a relationship between glass vessels from Neungsalli temple and Hwangnamdaechong (South tomb). The result of our experiment showed that the glass artifacts from Neungsalli temple were all soda glass. To be specific, the vessel fragments were soda-lime glass and spherical beads were high-alumina soda glass. Then, we compared glass vessel fragments from Neungsalli temple to glass vessels excavated from Hwangnamdaechong. Glass vessels from both sites turned out to be soda lime glass. We classified them further based on raw material used for soda -natron and marine plant ash.
