Abstract
The technique of firing a metallic surface onto a glazed
ceramic vessel developed and was mastered by the Islamic potter.
The technique, referred to as a lustre overglaze decoration, has
been admired by potters for centuries. Recently, the overglaze
technique has once again become popular. Contemporary potters
have found that lustres yield exciting possibilities, yet the
wares produced today lack the sophistication of the former Islamic
vessels. Unlike the mid-Eastern wares, the overglazes employed on
contemporary vessels lack the magnificent overtones of the
previous Islamic lustres. As a result, a course of study was
undertaken to trace the historical development of the overglazes
in Islam as well as to explore and to experiment with modern
methods of production in hopes of obtaining results similar to
the Islamic lustres.
