What is enamel pottery?

Enamel pottery is a type of ceramic pottery that is coated with a layer of vitreous enamel, which is a type of glass material. The enamel coating is applied to the surface of the pottery by spraying or dipping it into a liquid enamel mixture, and then firing it at a high temperature in a kiln to fuse the enamel layer onto the surface of the pottery.

Enamel pottery has been in use since ancient times and has been found in archaeological excavations around the world. It became popular in Europe in the 15th century, and was used extensively in the production of decorative and functional objects such as dishes, bowls, vases, and tiles.

One of the major benefits of enamel pottery is its durability and resistance to damage from heat, chemicals, and abrasion. It is also easy to clean and is non-porous, making it resistant to stains and bacteria growth.

Enamel pottery can be decorated with a variety of designs and colors, and it can be used for both functional and decorative purposes. It has remained popular over the years and is still used in many modern ceramic designs.
