This unique British art from the 17th Century has been revived in some British ateliers and we are proud to bring you a big selection of English enamels on copper handpainted by only the best factories of British artists. You will find British Halcyon Days enamels, Staffordshire enamels, Crummles enamels and Kingsley enamels among others. We are also inviting you to look in this section for exclusive English enamels for the Cottage Shop, our own collection. Each English enamel box is first designed, this is a process done in two phases: the design of the english enamel top lid of the box and the design of the english enamel base of the box. Once the design is approved the real production of the english enamel starts. The lid is handpainted with very fine rabbit hair for the thiner paint strokes and then the base of the English enamel is also hand painted and decorated. The base of the english enamel is a copper box which has an enamel cover on which the artists paints. Once the English enamel has a lid and a decorated base the final process of the hinge comes and master coppersmiths do this job. This is how after all this traditional method the artisans manufacture today these Brtish enamels in the same way they were made over 3 centuries ago.
You will find english enamels for the various themes of life from the Holidays and santas english enamels to the floral english enamels, baby first english enamels as well as the commemorative limited edition english enamels and a few english enamels we still have left from retired editions of British enamels that have been the favorite of high class collectors for many years.
