Abstract

The Five Dynasty sky-green, Song dynasty olive-green and Jin dynasty moon-white glazes are three typical glazes of the Yaozhou celadon. In this work, the coloring mechanism of the three celadon glazes were compared and analyzed by using colorimeter, EDXRF, XRD, XPS and Raman spectrometer. The results indicate that the content of Fe2O3 is proportional to the depth of the glaze colors. The Raman Ip value indicates that the firing temperature of the Song dynasty olive-green glaze was the highest, followed by the Five Dynasty, and then the Jin dynasty. The lower firing temperature and dense bubbles are important causes of the high opacification of the Jin moon-white glaze. The ratio of Fe2+ to Fe3+ in the glaze is directly proportional to the b* value, which is the main reason for why the Yao celadon glaze colors are yellow-green in Song, but bluish in the Five Dynasty and Jin dynasty
