Colorobbia Lustres

Colorobbia Lustres for Ceramic Overglaze Decoration

Colorobbia lustres are specialist ceramic overglazes for adding liquid gold, silver and metallic decorative finishes to pottery. They are applied over an already glazed surface, making them useful for adding highlights, accents and metallic detail to finished earthenware or porcelain pieces.

Apply Colorobbia lustres only to glazed, moisture-free ceramic surfaces for the best fired result. They are suited to decorative ceramicists, pottery studios and makers looking for refined metallic overglaze effects rather than standard underglaze or glaze colour.

For dilution, use HTL199 thinner at 5%–15% as required. Allow decorated pieces to dry in a warm, dust-free room before firing.
