Trace analysis for distinguishing between Venetian and façon-de-Venise glass vessels of the 16th and 17th century

Role of laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry in cultural heritage research: A review

“…The [64,66]). A reduced group of elements was studied by Shortland (11 were discussed in this paper, although 57 were determined [69]) and Shultheis et al (lead isotopes [65]).…”

“…The limits of quantification are reported by De Raedt et al [64] based on repeated analysis of the NIST SRM 612 and the 10 s criterion. Typical values are between 2 and 31 g kg −1 for REEs, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Cs, Ba, La, Hf, Ta, Pb, Th, U, with the exception of Sc and Cr that showed values of 0.7 and 0.18 g kg −1 , respectively.…”

“…Anyhow, the use of an internal standard is highly recommended if high quality data are to be obtained. In this regard, Ca was used as an internal standard in [66,67,69], while it was not used by De Raedt et al [64] andŠmit et al [68].…”

“…Sample preparation is usually accomplished by embedding small glass fragments in an acrylic resin and subsequently polishing the surface [64][65][66][67], while larger, centimetric fragments were directly analyzed byŠmit et al [68]. Resin enclosure and polishing enable the analysis of cross sections and the removal of up to millimetric thick contaminated and/or depleted surface layers.…”

“…Chemical analysis of glasses was generally employed for discriminating between different glass workshops ( [64,66,68] and partially in [65]), although a paper was also aimed at investigating the origin of glass colorants [69].…”
