ملاحظات
Iraqi potters began to decorate their white earthenwares with lustre, adapting a technique used in glassmaking. The pottery was glazed and fired, and then painted with silver or copper oxide pigments. After refiring and burnishing, the pattern shone like gold. Making lustre requires great skill, and production shifted around the Middle East as potters moved, taking their expertise with them. After 1050, they used the techniques on fritwares as well as earthenwares.
