Enameled metal has been used for thousands of years in ancient Rome, Greece, and Persia for jewelry and in the decorative arts.
Vitreous enamel was developed in Germany in the mid-19th century.
A ground glass called frit is applied to metal and then fired at temperatures hot enough to melt glass but not the metal.
Minerals added to the frit produce color.
The process has been used for advertising signage, medical equipment, kitchen appliances, bathtubs, cookware, dishware, basins, and pans.
