A Physicochemical Examination of Blue Shades in Pottery: Rich, Deep and Endless

This study attempts to take aspects of pottery technology into account while concentrating on the blue pigment and glaze recipes various kinds glazed types; that is say, Iznik ware, Kütahya Miletus fritware, porcelain, polychrome monochrome ware were collected from a rescue excavation site within Castle Mytilene in Lesvos Island, Greece. The decoration, surface treatment, production investigated basis 23 ceramic fragments can be dated Turkish/Venetian period. present concerns manufacture pottery, particular, colour issues technology. endeavoured look specifics medieval used ceramics Mytilene. was accomplished by using an analytical process took compositional information pigments, glazes, slip coatings. chemical analysis conducted scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), Raman spectroscopy provided about variation, optical examination via (OM) (SEM-EDS) yielded sample stratigraphy examined sections. investigation able define reflect key each society’s perception through large variety recipes.
