Lustre Glaze

Reduced Arabic lustre, an endless search for perfection in an elusive art. This ancient technique has been described as painting with smoke. The glazes contain precious metals and are exposed to intense reduction over a multitude of firings in the search for the promise of beauty. Only a few pieces make the grade from each firing.

Each piece of lustre work is unique, and the range here is all there will ever be of that style. The nature of the technique makes reproduction impossible. These works are available now and can be shipped once ordered.
