Characterization of cobalt pigments found in traditional Valencian ceramics by means of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

The use of micro-XRD for the study of glaze color decorations

“…However, the exact nature of these crystallites has not yet been identified. Arsenium bearing cobalt blues have also been identified in Spain after the 16 th century [17,18]. A cobalt blue decoration found in Sant Bartomeu del Grau Catalonia and dating 16 th century AD, shows also a high amount of arsenic associated to the cobalt blue and the presence of large hexagonal crystallites of lead rich arsenates concentrated near the glaze-ceramic interface as shown in Figure 5.…”

Algunas perspectivas político-ecológicas sobre la loza andina

“…Más tarde, la fuente de cobalto fue Sajonia, Alemania (Zucchiatti et al 2006: 132-133). Por su parte, el suroeste de Europa (Italia, España, Francia) se constituyó como un clúster región con respecto a la pintura azul; en este, todos los productores de mayólica parecen haber desarrollado un cambio importante en el pigmento de cobalto hacia 1515-1520(Zucchiatti et al 2006Pérez-Arantegui et al 2007: 1279. Después de este momento histórico, el cobalto se transformó «en un producto industrial real, con un proceso específico de producción» para asar el mineral (Zucchiatti et al 2006: 150-151).…”
