[I've never heard of platinum glaze. Most glazes are based on metallic oxides, but platinum doesn't form oxides - that's what makes it valuable. If there were such a thing, it would be prohibitively expensive anyway. There are platinum lustres - is that what you're looking for? These are put on over a glaze, and can be used economically. They fire to a much lower temperature than the glaze itself.]

I would have thought pretty certainly platinum and gold lustres, on a white glaze. Have a look at

and check their own lustres range. Horrendous price for platinum and a decent gold. I'm pretty sure you'll find what you're looking for, but you could also look through their glazes to see if there's anything that's similar. Suppliers in other countries are going to have something very similar I would imagine. Hope this helps. Has anybody else got any other suggestions?
