Description
A pink ceramic pigment. English pink, or chrome-tin pink, was developed about 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. Pink can also be formed by the combination of chromium and zircon oxides. Potter's pink was occasionally used as a pale pink artists color.
