liambesaw Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 You can use a gloss glaze and then coat with gold, platinum or mother of pearl lustre to get metallic sheens. Other metallic glazes are finicky and not true glazes, they're manganese saturates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Beller Diesel Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I didn’t think most lustres would be durable enough for food use, at least not over a whole piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older style lead fluxed lustres, no. The newer ones are pretty skookum. They have an addition of either rhodium or iridium that makes them really durable. Mother of pearl lustre is titanium dioxide, which is also very durable. Fumed lustres and smoke lustres will probably never be very durable, just because you cannot add a hardener to them.

oldlady Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 kid, what do you think a steak knife would do to that glaze on your dinner plate? some glazes are better left to decorative use, not practical use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
