It is produced by metallic oxide in an overglaze finish, which is given a second firing at a lower temperature.  Its origins are debated, with some arguing it came from the Tang Dynasty in China and others saying it originated in Persia. By the 14th century, lusterware was popular, and designs included symbols like coats of arms and crosses.  SHIPPING I have set up shipping options to allow you to choose the least expensive type of shipping available through eBay.  Please remember that cheaper means SLOWER!  If you want the item(s) more quickly, please contact me before you authorize payment.  Shipping prices are estimated based on size and weight of your purchase.  I charge the ACTUAL shipping price.
