Use a gold eraser. Its a fine abrasive in the shape ot a square stick. Just
rub it off. Works perfectly. No need to fire it

Hi:
There is a product, (I think it's called Gold Off) that you can rub on the
luster to remove it. I believe Seattle Pottery Supply sells it.

Dear Anne,
You can burn off the lustre at ^06, but I don't know whether there will be a
residue. You don't say what your firing temperature is. If you are working on
higher fire glazes, refiring to a lower cone will sometimes change the entire
character of the glaze. Sometimes you will like the change and sometimes you
won't, but you don't like the platter as is, so why not try it?
Warning: Pretend you're firing the platter wet--to re-fire a glazed piece, you
must go very slowly or you will explode it. Guaranteed at least one shard on
every other glazed piece in the kiln. Does this sound like I'm speaking from
experience? Right-O. Give that glazed piece plenty of time to heat up gently and
you'll be fine.
