Lusterware Plate
Luster is an overglaze, that is applied over the vitrified, glaze-fired piece and requires a third firing. Luster is made of particles of real gold suspended in a liquid medium. Then it's fired in order to burn off the organic binder.
No maker's mark on the back of the plate.

Mute Swan. 2017-1
Mute Swan. Note the interesting parallel, horizontal lines on the swan. I suspect they might be created by reflections from the ripples on the water surface. Please enlarge.
