Covered or decorated with enamel, a hard glass-like substance that is fused to metal or ceramic surfaces.
From Old French 'enamel,' possibly from en- plus 'amel' (enamel coating). The word originally described the glossy coating technique.
Enamel is one of humanity's oldest decorative technologies—ancient Egyptian jewelry used enameling, and the word itself traveled through French from its practical origins.
