Abstract

This study investigates the application of portable laser ablation sampling followed by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to determine lead isotope ratios (LIR) of thirteen 17–18th century Delftware earthenware objects. A method was developed to minimize invasiveness while obtaining sufficient material for accurate isotopic analysis. The method is applicable to all Pb-rich glazes. The white glaze of individual Delftware objects has homogeneous LIR within objects. Seventeen to18^th century Delftware were made with lead derived from English lead deposits. The study shows that is possible to use LIR to characterise later repairs. Finally, the research demonstrates that LIR in Delftware objects are comparable to contemporaneous lead-bearing objects, expanding knowledge on the use and trade of lead and its products.

17-18世纪代尔夫特陶器（陶器）现场便携式激光烧蚀取样铅锡釉铅同位素分析

本研究研究了便携式激光烧蚀取样后多收集器电感耦合等离子体质谱法测定13件17 - 18世纪代尔夫特陶器的铅同位素比（LIR）。开发了一种方法，以尽量减少侵入，同时获得足够的材料进行准确的同位素分析。该方法适用于所有富铅釉料。单个代尔夫特陶瓷物体的白釉在物体内部具有均匀的LIR。17至18世纪，代尔夫特的陶器是用来自英国铅矿床的铅制成的。该研究表明，使用LIR来描述后期修复是可能的。最后，研究表明，代尔夫特软件对象中的LIR可与同时代含铅对象相媲美，从而扩展了对铅及其产品的使用和贸易的了解。
