Mermaid Among Fish Silver Lustre Tile #2

An intriguing iridescence resulting from the use of chlorides, nitrates, and sulfates for the silver glazing distinguishes this poetic ceramic tile, handcrafted following an ancient Persian technique for lustreware items involving a second firing in a reduction kiln. It depicts a mermaid holding a starfish and swimming among a school of fish. The enchanting hues and reflections of this singular piece will not change over time.
