This book addresses the contributions made by analytical chemistry
to the characterisation of 18th and early 19th Century English and
Welsh porcelains commencing with the earliest reports of Sir Arthur
Church and of Herbert Eccles and Bernard Rackham using chemical
digestion techniques and concluding with the most recent
instrumental experiments, which together span more than a hundred
years of study. From the earliest experiments which required
necessarily the sacrifice of significant portions of each specimen,
which may already have been damaged , to the latest experiments
which needed only microsampling or the non-destructive
interrogation of valuable perfect specimens a comprehensive survey
is undertaken of more than twenty manufactories of quality
porcelains. The correlation is made between the quantitative
elemental oxide determinations of the scanning electron microscopic
diffraction and Xray fluorescence data and the qualitative
molecular spectroscopic Raman data to demonstrate their
complementarity and use in the holistic forensic assessment of the
origin of the fired procelains ; this will form the groundwork for
the adoption of analytical techniques for the attribution of
unknown or questionable procelains to their potential source
factories . The book will also examine the perception of what
constitutes a porcelain and its definitions and examines the
assignment of porcelains to types which currently employs the
definitions of hard paste , soft paste , hybrid , magnesian and
bone china from the conclusions derived from the analytical data
and a consideration of the raw materials employed in their
manufacturing processes. During the discussion of this analytical
evidence several themes and protocols have been established for its
utilisation in the potential identification of porcelains and
several case studies undertaken for this purpose are cited. The
book will be of interest to analytical scientists , to museum
ceramics curators and to ceramics historians.
