Dear George,

      I meant to ask you the difference between black overlay glass and black overlay enamel.
Isn't enamel just ground glass?
How do you differentiate?
Or, more accurately, why do you differentiate?
Best,
Joey


I differentiate the same as when we talked about this for a jet bottle..

I can not answer if enamel overlay is ground up glass like that of cloisonné pieces as an example.

Why I would go to the trouble to differentiate, or label them differently ?  Just to correctly describe a piece.
