Abstract 122 pieces of Chinese porcelains from K'ang Hsi to 1982 made in Ching‐te Chen were analysed using energy‐dispersive x‐ray fluorescence with a Cd‐109 exciter. The Zn Kα/RB Kβ ratio was found to be less than about 0.12 ± 0.03 for all pieces made before World War II and greater than about 0.12 ± 0.03 for all pieces made after the War, making it possible to detect modern fake reproductions easily and nondestructively.
