Abstract

A glass composition which is essentially free from lead and cadium comprises, in mole percent, SiO.sub.2 :35 to 75%, Bi.sub.2 O3:0.1 to 15%, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :0.1 to 10%, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 :1 to 30%, at least one of Li.sub.2 O, Na.sub.2 O, K.sub.2 O:5 to 30%, ZrO.sub.2 :0.1 to 10%, and certain other optional ingredients, with the proviso that BaO and ZnO are not contained in an amount of more than 2 mole percent. These glass compositions can be used as fluxes for mixing with pigments to provide compositions for the decoration of ceramic materials and/or glass.
