title: [EDXRF study on the chemical composition and raw material recipe of Jindezhen porcelains in the five dynasties].
abstract: Early crafts of porcelain making in Jindezhen were an important issue in ceramic history of China. The chemical composition of white porcelain and celadon samples excavated from Xianghu Kiln in the five dynasties was analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). Raw material recipes of the samples were discussed. The results showed that white porcelain bodies of Xianghu Kiln in the Five Dynasties were made from porcelain stone, while celadon bodies were made from porcelain stone and Zijin clay. Glaze ash and glaze stone were both used in the formula of white porcelain and celadon glaze, and the amount of glaze ash in the celadon was higher than that in the white porcelain samples.
