The People (British newspaper)

Founded on October 16, 1881, The People was a newspaper published in London, England. It was owned by Odhams Press until 1961, when the Mirror Group acquired it. The newspaper was later published by Reach plc, and shares a website with the Mirror papers. The British Newspaper Archive has digitized issues of The People from 1881–1999.

Enamelling is a technique that involves fusing colored glass to a metal base to create a glossy, colorful object. The history of enamelling can be traced back to many cultures and ages, including:

Ancient Egypt: Evidence of crushed stones being inlaid into jewelry and ornaments, which resembled enamel but was not fired onto metal

Mycenaean period: Six gold rings found in a tomb in Cyprus in the 13th century BC were decorated with colored glass fused onto the gold

Ancient Greece: In the 5th century BC, the Greeks began to include enamel glaze inlays in some sculptures

Byzantium: The Byzantine enamelling process was adopted in Europe during the Middle Ages

13th-century China: Enamel was used as an art form in China

16th to 17th-century Japan: Enamel was used as an art form in Japan

Limoges, France: A famous center for enamelling

Britain: In the 1880s to 1920s, there was a renewed interest in enamelling, particularly among women artists

Roaring Twenties: Enamel designs were featured in bold accessories worn by flapper girls

Some enamelling techniques include:

Camaieu: A technique that uses white enamel to create highlights and light areas

Moriage: A technique that involves placing layers of enamel on top of each other to create a three-dimensional effect

Shosen: A technique that involves minimizing the wire cloisons

Musen: A technique that involves burning away the wire cloisons with acid

Shōtai-jippō: A technique that involves burning away the metal substrate to leave translucent enamel

vintage objects on table

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.

I am absolutely delighted with this item. It arrived by post quicker than I expected. It was very well packaged up and I will add it to my ever growing collection..I spent quite a while deciding whether to add this [item] to it. it is exactly as you described.
