Two standard methods, the fine-grain technique and the quartz inclusion technique of thremoluminescence dating of pottery and porcelain were reviewed, especially the development of the measurement of the paleodose and the annual dose from the ceramic and the environmental. The two methods have been acknowledged in the domain of thremoluminescence dating and used widely to age determination in archaeology and geology. As a dating tool the thremoluminescence technique has made a great success in authentication of ancient ceramic art objects. But a few complicated factors limit the raising on precision and accuracy in age determination. The complicated factors were analyzed and methods were corrected. In addition, the thermoluminescence dating of porcelain using a regression method of saturation exponential in the pre-dose technique was discussed. The method was very successful in discrimination for the limitation of the ancient porcelain. Therefore, it may give a view for ceramic thremoluminescence dating in a broad outline, which solves the problem of authentication of ancient pottery and porcelain. However, the accuracy of the age dated is still to be improved.
