I chose an antique gold glaze for Alien Kane. Hard to see in the photo but it is a metallic glaze, looks like gold plated. This is Western's Aztec Gold and not a gold overglaze (which contains actual gold), not quite as shiny but gold overglaze is $840/ounce and Aztec gold is less than a buck an ounce :lol: Aztec gold fires best at Cone 05 which is a bit of an unusual temp for glaze firing, most lowfire glazes fire at Cone 06

The green that you see is clear glaze covering the chartruese underglaze. I fired the gold first so it will be easy to remove the clear that spilled over trying to glaze all the nooks and crannies behind the Kane
