Contextual Information

Lustreware is a type of pottery or porcelain with a metallic glaze that gives the effect of iridescence.

It is produced by metallic oxides in an overglaze finish, which is given a second firing at a lower temperature in a "muffle kiln", or a reduction kiln, excluding oxygen.

The technique of lustreware on pottery was first developed in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) in the early 9th century.
