ENAMELLED Meaning and Definition

  1. Enamelled is the past participle form of the verb "enamel" which refers to the process of applying a decorative or protective coating to an object, typically made of metal, glass, or ceramic, using a melted, colored material called enamel.

    The term "enamelled" can also function as an adjective to describe an object or surface that has been coated with enamel. Enamel itself is made from a powdered glass that is fused to the object through a high-temperature firing process, resulting in a smooth, durable, and glossy finish. Enamelling can enhance the appearance of an object by adding vibrant colors, intricate designs, or a glossy sheen.

    Enamelled objects can be found in various contexts such as jewelry, cookware, furniture, and architectural elements. For example, an enamelled brooch would refer to a piece of jewelry that has been embellished with an enamel coating. Similarly, an enamelled cast-iron pot would describe a cooking vessel coated with a layer of enamel to provide both aesthetic appeal and protection against rusting or corrosion.

    Enamelling has been practiced for centuries and is often associated with skilled craftsmanship and artistry. The technique requires meticulous attention to detail and expertise in handling and applying the enamel materials. Enamelled objects are highly valued for their beauty, durability, and ability to withstand the test of time.

  2. Covered with enamel; adorned with anything resembling enamel.
