| Research Abstract |
The blue painted pottery is one of the most characteristic ceramic in New Kingdom Egypt. Previous scientific studies have revealed that instead of ordinary copper blue, the cobalt blue pigment was applied to the blue painted pottery. The study aims to reveal manufacturing techniques of the blue painted pottery from the archaeological study with scientific analysis. As a result, some aspect of manufacturing techniques of the blue painted pottery was revealed. The study also shows new invention of cobalt blue pigment in the mid-18th Dynasty was occurred through the introduction of glass industry from Mesopotamia regions by the campaigns to these areas. The transition of motifs and painting techniques indicate that the blue painted pottery gradually proceeded on to mass-production.
