Abstract

<p>In ancient times, glass products were not only practical goods but also prized as trading goods for their beauty and rarity. Ancient glassmakers produced colorful glasses using various materials around them. The authors have developed portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometers for on-site scientific investigation of cultural heritage and applied them to nondestructive chemical composition analysis of ancient glass products to discuss their production and trade from a scientific point of view. The present review outlines scientific analytical research of ancient glass and introduces the authors’ recent investigation of precious glass products designated as national treasures in Japan.</p>
