SILVER LUSTER GLASS
Circa 1870-1910
Home
SILVER LUSTER was the discovery of the Staffordshire potters. If real silver were
used it would tarnish and the necessary polishing would soon wear it off. So PLATINUM
was the metal used for the bright, untarnishing silver luster, a metal first known
in 1750. The especially silvery luster is sometimes referred to as Tiffany Luster.
The use of luster on buttons dates back to the middle of the 19th century, but
extending into the 1900's with greater brilliance than the soft shades used in
the 1800's. The designs are legion, made in sufficient quantity to keep the price
from soaring. The result is unusually satisfying.
