No - you can not put mirrors in the kiln.
Yes - you can use lusters. Have you seen the fusible iridized glass? -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio "Søren M" wrote in message ...

If you want a shiny effect in a non-functional bowl - you could apply
silver leaf or foil but you will have to protect the surface with varnish or lacquer. -- Mike Firth Furnace Glassblowing Website http://users.ticnet.com/mikefirth/ "Søren M" wrote in message ...
