The invention relates to glass ceramics and glasses with cerium and tin content, which comprise the following components: TABLE-US-00001 Component wt.-% SiO.sub.2 42.0 to 80.0 Al.sub.2O.sub.3 0.1 to 42.0 Cerium, calculated as CeO.sub.2 0.5 to 10.0 Tin, calculated as SnO 0.1 to 4.0
and which are suitable in particular for the preparation of dental restorations, the fluorescence properties of which largely correspond to those of natural teeth.

An enamel composition, a method for preparing an enamel composition, and a cooking appliance are provided. The enamel composition may include 15 to 50 wt % of phosphorus pentoxide (P.sub.2O.sub.5); 1 to 20 wt % of silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2); 1 to 20 wt % of boron oxide (B.sub.2O.sub.3); 5 to 20 wt % of one or more of lithium superoxide (Li.sub.2O), sodium oxide (Na.sub.2O), or potassium oxide (K.sub.2O); 1 to 5 wt % of one or more of sodium fluoride (NaF), calcium fluoride (CaF.sub.2), or aluminum fluoride (AlF.sub.3); 1 to 35 wt % of one or more of magnesium oxide (MgO), barium oxide (BaO), or calcium oxide (CaO); and 5 to 30 wt % of one or more of titanium dioxide (TiO.sub.2), vanadium pentoxide (V.sub.2O.sub.5), molybdenum trioxide (MoO.sub.3), or iron oxide (Fe.sub.2O.sub.3). With such an enamel composition, cleaning may be performed at a low temperature for thermal decomposition, and contaminants, such as fat, may be more completely removed.
