  • ColourBlue
  • MotifsGuilloche engine-turned pattern, Translucent enamel coating, Geometric patterned rim

Guilloche enamel is a decorative technique where a precise geometric pattern is mechanically engraved into metal beneath a translucent layer of coloured enamel, creating a shimmering wave effect.

These items are typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often with a gold wash known as silver gilt or vermeil, combined with powdered glass fired at high temperatures to form the vitreous enamel.

Authentic pieces generally feature maker marks, standard silver purity stamps such as 925S, and traditional Norwegian assay marks stamped into the base or rim.

Place the piece on a dressing table, side table, or open bookshelf as a catch-all tray for small accessories, allowing its vibrant colour to contrast with neutral surfaces.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical silver dips, abrasive polishes, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture to protect the fragile glass enamel.
