Forty-eight tin-glazed ceramic fragments (faiences) from Lorraine, found in excavations or pertaining to objects in collections, were subjected to X-ray fluorescence analysis to determine the bulk, major, minor and trace element compositions. Sixteen superficially clay layers from the surroundings of Lunéville and Saint-Clément were also analysed. The faiences are, with four exceptions, MgO...

Fragments of 25 examples of ‘white earthenware’ from Lorraine were subjected to porosity analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and backscattered-electron image analysis—coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry to determine the porosity, bulk, major, minor and trace element compositions, and the composition and the proportion of their constituent...

Three types of antimony-based, opaque ceramic colours were used in the faience workshop of Le Bois d'Épense during the first decades of the 19th century; that is, yellow, tawny and green. Yellow is generated by lead antimonate crystals (Naples Yellow), which are incorporated into an uncoloured glass matrix. According to SEM–EDS measurements, these pigments contain iron. The tawny colour is the...

Fragments of four Terre de Lorraine biscuit figurines were subjected to porosity analysis, X-ray fluorescence analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, backscattered-electron image analysis—coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry—and electron backscatter diffraction analysis to determine the porosity, bulk, major, minor and trace element compositions, and the composition and the proportion of...
