Are there any references in English or would someone be willing to check out
these Chinese sources for me?
I am trying to match the composition of two bowls that have been dated, on
stylistic criteria, as being post-Han to pre-Yuan era. Below are the
compositions of the bowls measured by XRF.
ELEMENT copper Zinc lead tin iron bismuth nickel chromium
vanadium cobalt
First Bowl 59.52 32.64 3.40 1.92 1.36 0.52 0.24
---- 0.02 ----
Second Bowl 61.39 30.06 4.07 1.78 1.29 0.56 0.19
0.13 0.02 0.07
Thank you for any help.

hi,
there are two Chinese Books on the composition of ancient bronze which
collect almost the all bronze analysis data in China, you can find the
Chinese bronze composition that you need really.
1. Zhong guo shang gu jin shu ji shu (Metalworking technology of Ancient
Chinese), by shu rong yu, hua jue ming etc. Shan dong ke xue ji shu chu
ban she(press of science and technology of shan dong)
2. The Chinese history of science and technology-metallurgy, published in
06 or 07, science press in China
