Creating a high-shine, reflective finish on porcelain sculptures requires precision and the right techniques. One of the most common methods is applying a high-gloss glaze before firing, which melts into a smooth, glass-like surface. Another approach involves meticulous hand-polishing with fine abrasives like diamond paste or cerium oxide to remove microscopic imperfections. For added brilliance, some artists use multiple layers of clear glaze or sealants like resin or wax after firing. Electroplating with metals like gold or silver can also enhance reflectivity, though this is less traditional. Lastly, maintaining a dust-free environment during drying and firing ensures an flawless finish. Mastering these methods elevates porcelain art to a mirror-like perfection.
