Vitreous means to fire. Enamels are a form of soft glass with a melting temperature between 700 and 800°c. The enamels are fired into three formations: transparent, translucent and opaque. The vitreous enamel glass-like compound is coloured using different minerals and elements: cobalt is used to create a rich blue colour, gold is used in reds and pinks. The design has been created using a hand made stencil and enamelled glass powder and fired multiple times in a kiln at around 830°C.
