Over many years, we have tested over 50 thousand ceramic objects. Our work not only provides reassurance, but can also reveal a wide range of different types of forgery, many very ingenious. As our case studies show, TL testing is a powerful tool in the battle to uncover forgery. As a result, our reports are respected internationally by museums, collectors, dealers and courts of law.
