Champlevé Enameling
A decorative technique that fuses a powdered glassy material into a recess in a metal surface through the application of heat.
Enameling describes the technique of using heat to fuse frit, powdered glass, to the surface of a metal object. In champlevé enameling, a recess is etched, cast, or carved into the body of the metal substrate to be filled with frit.
Enameling is one of the oldest decorative techniques seen across cultures, and it was embraced by designers in the nineteenth century
