In China, the firing and glazed red techniques of producing underglaze-red porcelain began early in the Yuan dynasty (AD1206~1368). This paper reports the results of the PIXE analysis of ancient Chinese underglaze-red porcelain produced at Kuan kiln (Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province) in the Yuan dynasty. In this work the elemental composition analysis of the obtained samples was carried out using the PIXE facility of a 3 MeV tandem accelerator at Fudan University. The major, minor and trace elements of the clay body, white and red glazes were determined, and details of the results are presented. The obtained data can be used for identification of precious Chinese Yuan underglaze-red porcelain.
