Abstract: On-site pXRF analysis in various French collections (Musée du Louvre, Musée national des Arts asiatiques-Guimet, Paris) of porcelains decorated with painted enamels from the Qing Dynasty, in particular porcelains bearing an imperial mark, identifies the types of enamels/glazes, the ions and coloring phases or the opacifier. The study of the elements associated with cobalt (nickel, manganese, arsenic, etc.) and of the impurities of the silicate matrix (yttrium, rubidium and strontium) differentiates the use of ‘Chinese/Asian’ raw materials from ones imported from Europe by the initiative of the European missionaries (chiefly Jesuits) present at the Court (Beijing). Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the blue color of the marks and to the elements associated with the use of gold or copper nanoparticles as well as to the compositions of the pyrochlore phases (tin yellow, Naples yellow). The comparison is extended to pXRF and Raman microspectroscopy measurements previously made on other Qing imperial porcelains as well as on Cantonese productions (on porcelain or metal) from different Swiss and French museums and blue-and-white wares of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties (archaeological and private collections).

Raman identification of pigments and opacifiers: Interest and limitation of multivariate analysis by comparison with solid state spectroscopical approach—II. Arsenic‐based opacifiers and relation with cobalt ores
Jacques Burlot,Divine Vangu,Ludovic Bellot-Gurlet,Philippe Colomban +3 more
TL;DR: Raman analysis of pigments and opacifiers is effective for identifying different lead arsenates and characterizing their relation with cobalt ores. However, the presence of variable quantities of different phases in the enamel leads to the partial observation of Raman signatures. The combination of visual observation of the peaks and multivariate analysis shows that the shape, position and area of the band associated with the main As‐O stretching vibration vary according to several criteria related to production techniques.

Timurid, Ottoman, Safavid and Qajar Ceramics: Raman and Composition Classification of the Different Types of Glaze and Pigments
TL;DR: Raman analysis identifies three glaze types in Timurid, Ottoman, Safavid, and Qajar ceramics, characterized by lead-rich, lead-alkali, and mixed glazes, and detects pigments and opacifiers, revealing continuity between Turkish-Persian cultural areas.
