Abstract: This paper reviews eleven ceramic objects in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) that have been attributed variously over the past 150 years to the French ceramicist Bernard Palissy (1510-1590), his studio, workshop, school, followers, circle of, or imitators. It reviews the attributions of these objects at the time of their loan or acquisition by the Museum, and examines how they fit into current research about his work. Each of the works was analyzed with non destructive, qualitative XRF and four pieces were sampled for study with SEM/EDS. These samples were further analyzed with particle-induced gamma ray spectroscopy (PIGE) at C2RMF. The analysis of one rustic platter is discussed in depth.
