Using Gelatin or Oil to place Pure Gold leaf onto the back of the glass. You must protect it in some way so, a clear varnish or laminate as I suggested earlier. Google "Verre Eglomise" - you will get some idea of what I am talking about.

My husband Chris had to collect some mail for the owner of an very old house, which was totally empty at the time. As he walked in then walked through to the main hall, a door slammed loudly in another room! He collected the mail from the hall, & as he walked through the kitchen to go out of the back door, the buzzer for 'bedroom 2' on the board began to buzz, not just once but many times! Needless to say he was out of the back door like a bolt of lightening!! Lol!! & Guess what, the wiring that used to be connected to the buzzer board was taken off long ago during renovation! Now I know that didn't help with your Gold problem, but if you can't get hold of Rosalba's suggested enamels, then how about using Gold leaf, then glass laminate, to protect, but you need to use 'Pure' Gold leaf as substitute gold leaf will tarnish eventually. Just a thought. Fiona Hi,

Then over-coating with Bat wash or bone china slip and cleaning off after firing up to 790 degrees Centigrade. You could buy a sheet of gold enamel transfer (Ceramic Transfers) and cut to size, paste on and fire ...
