A great birthday gift!
Made using the enamel sign technique, exactly the same as street-name or office signs.
An extremely weather-resistant technique.
Enamelling is one of the oldest and most durable artistic craft techniques, known as early as the first millennium BC. The main component of enamel is powdered glass melted at high temperature, coloured with metal oxides and applied to a metal base. This creates a glassy, durable and colourful coating that can be ground and polished.
