For the purpose of painting gold on ceramics, the bottle is the size of a 8 ounce coke bottle, the gold was part of an inheritance, the bottle weighs in at 9 ounces and the bottle is 2/3 full, I was told the gold is all gold, no metal, also I was told, its hard to find anyone willing to buy this kind of gold, because, you lose some of the product upon firing, and you have to have a lot. My question is how do you estimate the value in powder, and the process? with no metals lead or any other compound.
Thank You

Wow! Fascinating find. I would call or contact some art galleries and find out who uses this product on ceramics. Then get the artists name and talk to them. They would know who they buy from and how much they pay.
For [URL removed] Dale Chihuly is a famous glass artist. His pieces sell for thousands of dollars each. If he used gold dust in any of his glass pieces he would know how much he paid for it. All you need to do is talk to one of these people because they may know who would use it if they don’t.
Good luck. Sounds like fun and it also sounds lucrative or worth the time and effort!

I don’t have any experience with powdered gold. I have used the more recent liquid golds for painting on ceramics.
It is fairly pricey and sells upwards of $10 per gram. I don’t know if there is a market outside of the hobby ceramics trade for such gold.

Interesting A few years ago, I came across, again, the bottles of that my mom would use to write on ceramic plates and such.
The bottles are of liquid GOLD, SILVER and PLATINUM.
I purposely held onto these items, not knowing if I would start working on ceramics and porcelain again, but I know they are of value.
My mom would complain on the prices on these bottles from $8 to $11 a bottle (40 years ago) LOL.
Will keep watching this thread. Thanks
