Plique-a-jour roughly translates as ‘light of day’ or ‘window of day’. It's openwork - glass held with no backing in a precious metal frame letting the light shine through to show its colour and transparency. It is an enamelling technique known to be used for nearly a thousand years. Probably most famously used by Rene Lalique at the turn of the last century. Not often practised these days because it’s so time consuming, many things can go wrong during firing and finishing. |
