Vitreous enamel

Vitreous enamel, also known as porcelain enamel, is a durable, glass-like coating fused to metal, glass, or ceramic surfaces through high-temperature firing. It creates a smooth, glossy, and colorful finish that is resistant to scratching, corrosion, and heat. Used for decorative and functional purposes, vitreous enamel is common in jewelry, cookware, and artistic objects. Its process involves applying powdered glass onto a substrate, which melts and bonds tightly during firing, resulting in a resilient, eye-catching surface that enhances both the appearance and longevity of the object.
