enamelware
Glossy metal pots
Enamelware refers to metal cookware and household items coated with a layer of enamel, a glossy, durable finish made by fusing powdered glass to the metal surface.
Common pieces include pots, pans, mugs, and basins, often with a distinctive speckled or solid-colored appearance.
Enamelware became popular in the late 19th century as a lightweight, easy-to-clean alternative to cast iron.
The cabin kitchen was stocked with classic blue-and-white enamelware.
