enamelwork
Fired glassy coating
Enamelwork is decorative work made by fusing powdered glass onto metal, pottery, or other surfaces through high heat.
The technique produces a smooth, glossy, colorful finish that's durable and resistant to wear.
Enamelwork appears on jewelry, cloisonné vases, and decorative objects: The museum's collection of Byzantine enamelwork dates to the tenth century.
