Enamelled fish

This strange variety of fish is made with the technique called “cloisonne enamel”. Enamel is basically glass, so in this technique finely ground glass is carefully placed on a metal surface and fired in a kiln where it melts together to create a translucent glass layer.

The colours of enamel are hard to capture on camera, so I’ve also included a video to give you an idea of how they look in direct light vs. shade.

Please note: there is a tiny scratch on one of the scales. Since this is one of my first enamelled pieces, I have decided that it is safer to leave it as is, because it does not impact durability. Chances are you would never even notice it, but I prefer to disclose such details 🙂
