: Gold-plated silver. .

Enameling : Consists of depositing successive layers of very fine crystalline powder colored by metal oxides on the surface of the item. The piece is then fired repeatedly in a high-temperature kiln to melt the powder which, once it solidifies, takes on the desired color and luster. Plique jour - Enameling technique in which the metal support cells outline the borders and the enamel remains transparent, like the stained glass windows in a cathedral.

As the silver cools and solidifies it takes on the shape of the model. With this technique, mainly jewelry and ornamental parts for serving pieces are made (knobs, handles, spouts, feet, figurines, borders).
