Overglaze decoration porcelain is an important category of ancient Chinese ceramics,which has significant artistic value and scientific value.Nondestructive analysis methods such as Raman spectroscopy and EDXRF were used to analyze the overglaze decorations on the Jingdezhen ceramic samples of Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasty.The recipe and color mechanism of the overglaze pigments were discussed according to the chemical composition and phase composition analysis.The study found that dark red overglaze decorations of ancient Honglvcai,Wucai and famille rose in Jingdezhen are colored by hematite,yellow color is lead tin yellow,carmine decoration is colored by gold less than 0.1% in concentration,and green decorations are colored by bivalent copper ion.The result also indicates that the effective combination of Raman spectroscopy and EDXRF can play an important role in the deep research on ceramic artifacts,especially for the overglaze decoration pigments which are interveined each other.
