[I've never heard of platinum glaze. Most glazes are based on metallic
oxides, but platinum doesn't form oxides - that's what makes it valuable. If
there were such a thing, it would be prohibitively expensive anyway. There
are platinum lustres - is that what you're looking for? These are put on
over a glaze, and can be used economically. They fire to a much lower
temperature than the glaze itself.]

Thanks for reply. An item like the above has 'Platinum' on it. Is this
metal or something else.

Thanks

I would have thought pretty certainly platinum and gold lustres, on a
white glaze. Have a look at

www.potterycrafts.co.uk

and check their own lustres range. Horrendous price for platinum and a
decent gold. I'm pretty sure you'll find what you're looking for, but
you could also look through their glazes to see if there's anything
that's similar. Suppliers in other countries are going to have something
very similar I would imagine. Hope this helps. Has anybody else got any
other suggestions?

Susie
