Abstract

In this work, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to analyze the components and molecular structures of blue-and-white porcelain excavated from Huawanping site in Shangchuan Island, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. It shows that the characteristics of the porcelain body are low aluminum, high silicon and high potassium. The main component of reddish-brown pigment is hematite employed with the glaze-on-color technology. The main component of blue pigment was the mixed with domestic cobalt soil and imported cobalt ore by the under-glaze color technology. It can be deduced that the porcelain originated from Zhangzhou kiln in Fujian Province at the late Ming or early Qing dynasties by combination historical background of the site at that time with the calculation of F function.

Key words

blue-and-white porcelain / reddish-brown pigment / glaze-on-color / blue pigment / under-glaze color
