Recent work on the relation between ln(fluorescent intensity/concentration) and ln(energy of the characteristic x-ray line) simplifies multielemental quantitative determination not only for geological and biological samples but also for porcelains. In this study, we apply this method to the investigation of porcelains. Based on experimental data it is obvious that not all elements are useful for identifying porcelains as belonging to a certain region. For example, the scatter in the concentrations of Fe for samples from various regions shows that there is no correlation between Fe concentration and place of manufacture. However, elements like Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, and Nb are in general quite useful for this purpose, especially if we make a triangular plot.
