| Abstract Scope |
Pigments for chromium-tin pinks were developed at the French Manufacture de Sèvres circa 1804. Experiments were designed with the goal of creating a macrocrystalline CrSn pink glaze with visible pink colored malayaite crystals. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine nucleation and growth ranges for malayaite in various glaze compositions and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to confirm malayaite presence. |
