    New insight on the in situ crystallization of calcium antimonate opacified glass during the Roman period

    Glass is usually opacified by small crystalline particles, called opacifiers, dispersed in the translucent vitreous matrix. To understand the glassmaking conditions used to produce calcium antimonate opacified...

    Synthesis of calcium antimonate nano-crystals by the 18th dynasty Egyptian glassmakers

    During the 18th Egyptian dynasty (1570–1292 B.C.), opaque white, blue and turquoise glasses were opacified by calcium antimonate crystals dispersed in a vitreous matrix. The technological processes as well as ...

    Rediscovering ancient glass technologies through the examination of opacifier crystals

    The aim of the study is to understand how antimonate opacifying crystals were obtained throughout history. Two archaeological glass productions opacified with calcium and lead antimonates are studied in this p...
