Abstract
This examines manmade blue and purple pigments appearing in antiquity. They were obtained by chemical synthesis from mineral starting materials and refer to chemical compounds: Egyptian Blue (CaCuSiO), Han Blue (BaCuSiO) and Han Purple (BaCuSiO), Maya Blue (·indigo·(Mg,Al)Si(O,OH,HO)) and Ultramarine Blue (Na,Ca)(AlSiO)(S, SO,Cl). The Egyptian and Chinese copper-based pigments are assumed to have been developed independently and are presumably an outcome of the historical developments in glazing techniques. A technology transfer from Egypt into China cannot be fully excluded but, based on the facts acquired up to now, looks less probable.
