Articles, such as components for high temperature turbomachinery components, include one or more coatings bearing certain perovskite compositions resistant to incursion by liquid calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicon-oxide (CMAS) materials during service. The CMAS-reactive material includes a perovskite-structured oxide, which comprises a) a rare earth element, b) niobium, tantalum or a combination of tantalum and niobium, and c) oxygen. The CMAS-reactive material is present in an effective amount to react with a CMAS composition at an operating temperature, thereby forming a reaction product having one or both of melting temperature and viscosity greater than that of the CMAS composition.
