Research Abstract |
This research was based on technical experiments and the analysis of the firing tests for practical application of grinded lapis lazuli to the ceramic glaze material. At the first fiscal year of the project, a high-purity blue pigment was extractedfrom powdered lapis lazuli which was sorted and grinded from a rough gemstone. Then, an investigation into the possibility of color development in firing process was conducted from the Heisei 22 to 23.As a result, low-temperature lapis lazuli glaze characterized by stable texture and color development was completed. On the other hand, the studies clarified the fact that the material was not applicable to high-temperature ceramic glaze. The low-temperaturelapis lazuli glaze was developed and applied to ceramic works. The final outcomes were presented at the exhibition as a research accomplishment report at the final fiscal year of the project.
