Description
Bring radiant metallic effects to your ceramics with Colorobbia Lustre Glazes, the premium choice for adding gold, silver, and shimmering highlights. These glazes transform ordinary pieces into luxurious works of art with a brilliant reflective finish that catches the eye.
What Are Lustres?
Colorobbia Lustres glazes come in liquid gold and metallic variations. While they appear as a dark brown liquid in the bottle, they fire into vibrant metallic surfaces. Their unique composition allows dissolved metals to fuse firmly to glazed surfaces, giving both durability and shine.
How to Use
Lustres are applied to a surface that has already been glazed and fired. For best results, dilute Colorobbia Lustre glazes with Lustre Essence (5–15%) before brushing onto the piece. Ensure the surface is clean and dry, then allow the coated piece to rest in a dust-free environment for several hours. Professional ceramicists may also use airbrush application, although this requires advanced studio practice.
Firing Instructions
Fire the decorated piece to around 750°C (Cone 017). At this low temperature, the base glaze remains intact while the lustre develops its signature metallic brilliance. Once fired, the effect is permanent and highly resistant to wear.
Creative Possibilities
Lustres are perfect for accenting fine details, enhancing jewellery, or highlighting edges and textures on decorative ceramics. Their reflective quality is especially striking when paired with deep glazes or matte finishes. Whether you want subtle touches of elegance or bold metallic drama, Colorobbia Lustres offer endless creative options.
