“…Therefore this type of decoration is applied mainly on stoneware and porcelain. The earliest enamels were produced in China to colour porcelain from the 13 th century (Li 2010, Wen 2017) and started to be extensively used when they were referred to as famille-vert and famille-rose (Miao 2010, Kingery 1986and 1986b, Van Pevenage 2014, Giannini 2017, Colomban 2017a, and in European porcelains (Maggetti 2017, Colomban 2001. The enamels are of two types; lead free or low lead, and high lead-based (Figure 8).…”

“…For the study of surface structures, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) can be proficiently used. These are synchrotron-based techniques (Cotte 2010, Pradell 2016, Wen 2017 where the X-rays are scanned around the element absorption band with enough wavelength resolution to distinguish between different oxidation states and coordination sites (Figure 9I). If the study is restricted to the position of the absorption edge, the technique is called X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES).…”

Glazes add value to ceramic; improve its appearance (colour and shine) and make it waterproof. Through the choice of colours and designs, glazes made ceramics fashionable, even luxurious, and therefore, an object of trade. Each region and ruling dynasty developed its own style or trademark which makes them particularly suitable for dating purposes. Therefore, the study and analysis of glazes offers direct information about the acquisition of technical skills (technology), trade of specific materials (inter-regional links), migrations and the introduction/adoption of new trends.

“…WD-XRF is developed for qualitative and quantitative analyses of elements with atomic number ≥ 4 (Be), which features the quantitative function provided that samples are properly prepared and calibration is strictly operated; while ED-XRF is applicable for qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses of elements from atomic number 9 (F) to 92 (U) in principle [25], which features quick and sensitive measurement without pretreating or touching samples, just fitting in with the needs of the museum field [24]. The metallic elements in alloy-based artefacts [26,27], antique polychromy [28], paintings [29,30] and porcelains [31,32] were all successfully detected by different types of XRF measurement. Compared with WD-XRF, ED-XRF is commoner in the museum field due to lower cost, simpler structure and easier operation as well.…”

Nine gemstone samples were analysed by using a portable X-ray fluorescence-X-ray diffraction (XRF-XRD) system without any destructive preparation processes. The samples were measured by groups based on the transparency and the complexity of molecular structure. The XRF and the XRD measurements for each sample were performed simultaneously.The key experimental parameters were optimized in order to obtain XRD patterns acceptable for phase identification in a limited time. The XRF spectrum of each sample was analysed first to acquire the elemental composition qualitatively, and the information was then applied to refining possible phases. The phase analysis process of each sample was described in detail and the most likely phases were determined. Normal XRD experiments were conducted in order to verify the results. Advantages, disadvantages and applicable range of the system were analysed. The results indicate that the portable XRF-XRD system can be applied to identifying particular gemstones effectively, while single-crystal gems may not be identified very well. Wider recognition and application of the portable XRF-XRD system in cultural heritage and gemological fields call for hardware development, software updating and more real application cases.

Enamels analysis of Doucai porcelain with Chenghua mark by non‐destructive micro‐EDXRF

et al. 2022

The Chenghua Doucai of the Ming Dynasty represents the highest level of craftsmanship among enamelled porcelain, and it remained popular throughout the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Consequently, Doucai porcelain with a pseudo‐Chenghua mark was produced almost continuously after the Chenghua reign. In this article, non‐destructive energy dispersive micro x‐ray fluorescence (micro‐XRF) is used to analyse Doucai wares with Chenghua mark from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and modern period. Using micro‐XRF mapping technology, the different elemental maps in the blue, green, red, yellow enamels demonstrate that the Doucai is fired with a various colouring materials. The blue is coloured by cobalt, the green is coloured by copper, and the red and yellow are coloured by a lot of iron and a few of iron, and lead in all enamels except for the underglaze blue with different contents. Even though the primary enamels of Doucai wares with the Chenghua mark are similar, the wares made in the Qing Dynasty display more types of enamels than Chenghua reign's. For instance, there are two types of red enamels; the darker red enamel contains manganese (Mn) in addition to iron (Fe), and the modern yellow enamels of Doucai contain titanium (Ti) in addition to iron (Fe). This study compared the changes of colouring materials for Doucai of different times and demonstrated that the micro‐XRF elemental mapping technology is a valuable tool to reveal the compositional characteristics and ware production procedures.
