New ideas for developing nontoxic famille-rose pigments were put forward, which was necessary for the continuation and furtherance of the famille-rose ceramic heritage. Our group's work on the preparation of nontoxic low -temperature fluxes, lead -free and arsenic -free glassy white, famille -rose colorants with stable color generation by various wet-chemical methods, and new nontoxic famille-rose pigments was described. Finally, the application trends of nontoxic famille-rose pigments were predicted.
