Etymology

The term 'enamel' originates from the Old French word 'esmail', which in turn derived from the Latin 'smaltum', meaning 'a color'. Originally, enamel referred to a specific kind of glass that was used to decorate various surfaces. The use of enamel on jewelry and pottery dates back to ancient civilizations, where it was prized for its beauty and coloration. In the Middle Ages, enamel techniques were developed further in Europe, especially for intricate designs on metalwork. Enamelled surfaces became popular in the Renaissance, and artists used them to create stunning and detailed pieces. Over time, the term evolved to encompass any covered surface that resembles enamel, further solidifying its place in various art and craft practices.
