French Black and White Chien Méchant Petite Enamel Sign

Enamel work is produced by mixing heated powdered glass and pigments to create a liquid that can be applied to metal or glass surfaces. Enameling is a practice that has been around for thousands of years, and this specific type of enamel work is called Vitreous, derived from the Latin word meaning "the glass." This French Chien Méchant sign dates back to the early 1900s, showcasing the timeless artistry of enamel during that era.
