Lusterware Plate

Annette from Waikanae

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.

Price: $4
