DescriptionThough the technique was centuries old, production of shiny, metallic lusterware began in Staffordshire near the end of the 1700s. Potters applied metallic oxides to the glazed and fired wares, and then fixed the metallic layer with another firing at a lower temperature. Platinum oxide produced silver luster; gold oxide produced gold, bronze, or copper luster effects.
ProvenanceMrs. F. L. Andrews, Houston; given to MFAH, 1970.
