Inorganic pigments produced and marketed as fine powders are
a base for many decorative and protective coatings and are used for
mass colouration of many materials including glazes and ceramic
bodies [1]. Ceramic pigments are basically white or coloured
substances with high thermal stability and chemical resistance
enabling their further processing at high temperatures [2].
Recently, the development of new ceramic materials has encouraged
the research and application of pigments stable at over
1200 C
