Plique-à-jour: An intricate enameling technique where transparent or translucent enamel is fused into cells within a metal framework, without a backing, allowing light to pass through, creating a stained-glass effect. The name, derived from the French for "letting in daylight," highlights this characteristic. It's a challenging technique, often compared to miniature stained glass.
Vitreous enamel—also known as porcelain enamel: A durable, glassy coating formed by fusing powered glass to a substrate, usually metal, at high temperatures. This process creates a smooth, non-porous, and visually appealing surface that is widely used in various applications due to its resistance to heat, chemicals, and corrosion.
