What is it and do you use it If you do a search there are quite a few hits for med mar as being a luster (11%) gold. Several videos out there in how to use lusters.

Fred Sweet Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Joanne- I’m wondering whether this is a metallic luster at all. Most of the comments to date have overlooked the final words of your query: “......gold antique etch.” I believe that this solution may be for achieving an antique looking patina on the liquid gold after firing the luster by “etching” the surface. Try sending a personal message to Paul Lewing ( he’s a member here in the forum), as he is an expert on China paints and overglazes. If he doesn’t know directly, he has many contacts within the China painting community who were active 40+ years ago and may have had experience with this material. It is okay to tell him that I referred you to him. Regards, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 (med-mar metals liquid bright gold antique etch) I recall this brand of liquid gold which is gold luster at the time-I used it as Bright gold but this stuff is not that I think . The antique etch is not something I recall at all. I think Fred in above post has it right-it sounds like an antique deal not a bright gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 There is a brief intoduction to lustres, with some H&S at http://johanna.demaine.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Lustre-Ceramics-Monthly.pdf This post gives a firing temperature for med-mar metals lustres (don't know if yours is a lustre). http://www.potters.org/subject05204.htm Vivianne Escolar on fri 14 may 99 Marie Elaine, I also had some lusters dating from the 80's, a present from someone I think, and I've just used the opened and unopened ones and they worked! I was extremely surprised. Anyway, it's a box set with 12 colours and a glaze cleaner by a company MED-MAR METALS from Anaheim, California. The "blue storm" and "burnt orange" are very nice. These are stronger hued than the rest of the colours which are sort of shimmery and pastel. I've resisted lusters for years, but have found them to have a lot of potential. Shows how much taste can change. Fired to cone 018. ^ 019 was no good. And I used the glaze cleaner to dilute the thicker ones. Hope this helps.
