Hi I hope you are all well.
I often see beautiful plates and dishes with gold and/or silver writing fused on or into them
I would love to have a try and saw one advertised recently on Etsy where they say they use 23K gold lettering. How is this done? Where does one buy such a thing? If anyone could shed some light on the technique, what sort of gold and silver is used and where to purchase such products that would be super 🙂
Many thanks
Warm Glass sell a gold pen, but it's quite expensive.
Thank you so much I will take a look
I can't find a gold pen on their website do you mean the Glassline colours?
I can't find it there now, either, sorry. Try Bath Potters, they do a metallic lustre. The gold one should be fired last, at 500-600 C. You use a paintbrush. Hope that helps.

I've seen something on you tube where 24k gold liquid is put in a little cup thing attached to a pen type holder with a fine nib for writing. I think it's mostly used by potters. I'll see if I can find it again.

Thank you all so much. I wish I couldl find a gold decal paper that would probably work but haven't managed to yet!
