Full description
Lustreware serving dish cover in silver with finial knob and matching dish (C/90 a). Lustreware is a type of porcelain or pottery with a metallic glaze which gives the effect of iridescence. This effect is produced by metallic oxides that are applied in an overglaze finish which is then given a second firing within a reduction kiln.
