Dictionary Of Enamelling History And Techniques

It is a rare occurrence to see a book published which is totally about enamelling. This book is a dictionary of terms, practices, enamels and techniques both historical and current. The emphasis is on art based products but does not exclude modern industrial practices. There are fascinating illustrations of jewellery and objets d'art produced by painting, cloisonne, champleve, ginbari, plique-a-jour and many more techniques. The text is laid out as a dictionary, with good cross-referencing starting at Acids and finishing at Zinke. Published by Ashgate Publishing Company, ISBN: 1859282725 the book costs £65.00
