Analysis of the surface composition of the suspected cool RV Tauri star CE Vir shows no systematic trend in depletions of elements with respect to condensation temperature. However, there is a significant depletion of the elements with respect to the first ionization potential of the element. The derived Li abundance of log $epsilon$ (Li) = 1.5$pm$0.2 indicates production of Li in the star. Near infrared colours indicate sporadic dust formation close to the photosphere.
