French Enamel Ware

Enamel ware was fabricated by applying a glass like finish to items of iron or steel. Skilled metal workers cut out the desired shapes and this was a very lucrative trade. Then the pieces were fired to bake the finish to the metal. The botanical and graphic designs on many pieces led to a serious art form of the day. American enamel ware was usually devoid of any decoration.
