A finding of unique microscopic morphology in glaze layer of paleo porcelain

We report a new finding that glaze layer of paleo porcelain contains an aggregate of characteristic ellipsoidal particles, and they are thought to be formed by phase separation in molten state of the glaze during cooling process. Microstructure characterization of the glaze layer was conducted by ch...

description We report a new finding that glaze layer of paleo porcelain contains an aggregate of characteristic ellipsoidal particles, and they are thought to be formed by phase separation in molten state of the glaze during cooling process. Microstructure characterization of the glaze layer was conducted by chemical etching and scanning electron microscopy. Of special interest is early Imari porcelain manufactured in the 17th century in Arita, Japan. Formation of the microstructure morphology is also studied using a simulant of early Imari shards having the same elemental composition and is found to be sensitive to the cooling rate of molten glass, indicating a possible mean of understanding firing conditions in early Imari kilns.
