  • Publication number: 20240101468
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a technology of obtaining a ceramic product including a decorative film which has a sufficient chemical resistance and can reduce damage during cleaning. A decorative composition disclosed herein contains at least a noble metal element and a glass matrix element. The glass matrix element contains a rare-earth element and a first element which is at least one selected from the group consisting of Si and Al. In the decorative composition disclosed herein, the content of the rare-earth element in the glass matrix element is from 1 mol % to 45 mol % inclusive, and the content of the first element in the glass matrix element is from 50 mol % to 90 mol % inclusive. This allows the decorative film having both alkali resistance and acid resistance at high level to be formed.
