“…The changes that clay undergoes during the firing process are reflected in the Mössbauer spectra of firing ceramics and hence can be applied, even after millennia of burial, to obtain information about the original firing conditions and the techniques of the ancient potters 8 . Although Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis has been widely used in the study of ancient ceramics, like classification, 9 coloring mechanism, 10 mineral composition 11 and microstructure of pottery, 12 etc., there is little research on Chinese black‐glazed Jian ware.…”

Jian ware, also known as “Tenmoku,” is one of the famous black‐glazed porcelains in China. It was highly coveted in the Song dynasty (960–1279 AD) and was also a tribute to the royal family. The black‐glazed Jian wares are mainly made from iron‐rich clay. In this study, black‐glazed Jian bowl sherds excavated from the Song strata of Jian kiln sites were adopted as test samples. The iron phase and firing techniques of the black‐glazed Jian bowl from the Song dynasty were analyzed and discussed through Mössbauer spectroscopy on the both of body and glaze, together with X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. According to the different iron content and the unique iron oxide phase reflected in the Mössbauer spectra, we analyzed the firing atmosphere, temperature, and other conditions of the ancient Jian bowl, as well as the difference of iron phase between the body and the glaze layer due to the collapse of the silicate framework. It provides new ideas for deciphering the firing technology and improving the synthesis of ancient black‐glazed Jian wares.
