Mother of Pearl Luster is an overglaze that produces beautiful opalescent colors. It is typically applied to accent or highlight ceramic wares or jewelry. Lusters are consideed overglazes because they are typically applied to glaze-fired pottery, on top of the glaze. The piece is then fired again at a low temperature (see details below).
Mother of Pearl luster appears iridescent when applied on top of a white glaze. Luster colors will vary depending on the glaze underneath them. As always, we recommend conducting tests prior to use on your work.
