Hello Gordon
Take your favorite base add to it 7-12% black copper oxide and you will have it.
Because the copper is a flux it might run. For sure:
Not foodsafe!

It might be a platinum or paladium luster (akin to gold luster) that goes
on at about cone 018.
There is an artist here in Marin who puts a ceramic knife on her porcelain
melons and it is glossy glazed on the "blade" and then lustred in a final
firing. Looks like metal.
