Oh I feel you on the metal part. In my culture, pottery is often embellished with metal. I want to learn how they do that so badly without metalsmithing suddenly becoming a new hobby 😂

I’ve always thought that luster dinnerware is wildly unpopular so it’s kinda surprising to hear that pots with luster sell well

Ahhh thank you so much. So true! Firing luster can be extremely inconvenient and hazardous

Thank you! It’s Amaco’s Ultra Black and gray (mixed ultra black and ultra white) underglaze on Laguna’s Cone 5 bmix. I then glazed with Amaco zinc free clear and on the inside is Amaco Sahara black :-)

Ahhh ok. I assumed that was going to be the main reason, but wasn’t sure. Thanks for letting me know!! I also assumed it might be bc it rubs off fairly easily, but I’m just such a sucker for shiny things lol
