Abstract

Luster glaze is a very thin layer of silver and copper nanoparticles with a metallic luster in different color range formed on the surface of the glaze during the third stage of heating in reduction condition. Javaher name-ye-Nezami by Mohammad- ibn Abi-al-BarakatJuhari-Nishaboori is the earliest historical documents on Luster glaze which has various formulas for making this glaze.However, the key question is, whether one can still produce luster glaze based on these formulas. In the present study, by using an experimental approach, we verify the accuracy of one the formulas presented in this book. The first formula in the book Javaher Name-ye-Nezami was chosen while the research method was evaluative and it has been done through observations and experiments. The results show that the formula presented in Javaher-Name-ye-Nezami are quite capable of preparing Luster glaze.
