Default on glaze colours and lustres

I regularly use onglaze colours fired to 760C on unglazed porcelain
which has been fired to 1250C.

What I was wondering was if there is sufficient 'glaze base/cover'
deposited by the colours to enable me to use lustres on top of them? Has
anybody got any suggestions? Also, would it work if I use lustres on
onglaze colours on top of a tin based glaze, also fired to 1250C? I'll
have time to experiment in a few weeks, but at the moment I'm short for
time.

Thanks

I'd go for it; I've done it in the past with my stuff, so it should be
OK. That refers to both options.
