Scope note
A pink pigment used in ceramics and as a pale pink artists color. It was first developed ca. 1790 by a potter in Staffordshire. The color is produced when chromic oxide and tin oxide fuse in the presence of lime. The color is dependent on particle size and is not always uniform. The same pink can also be formed by the combination of chromium and zircon oxides.
