This research aims to analyze changes in body and glaze compositions of Longquan celadon and their implications for color and firing practices.
Analyzed twenty celadon sherds using energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Measured glaze color using CIE L*a*b* color measurement techniques.
Conducted high-temperature dilatometry to assess firing temperatures.
Yuan-associated bodies showed higher Al2O3 and K2O, and lower SiO2 than Southern Song and Ming groups.
Yuan samples exhibited lower b* values, indicating a shift to darker, more bluish-green glazes.
Firing-temperature data indicated variability in practices during the Yuan period, suggesting flexibility.
