luster glaze

Luster glaze is a decorative ceramic finish that creates a reflective, iridescent, or metallic sheen on pottery and porcelain. It is achieved by applying a special glaze containing metal oxides, such as gold, platinum, or copper, which bond with the surface during a high-temperature firing. The result is a striking, shimmering surface that enhances the vessel's aesthetic appeal. Luster glazing has historical roots in ancient Islamic and Middle Eastern ceramics and remains popular today for its elegant, luminous effect that adds depth and richness to ceramic pieces.
