ENA'MELLING, f. The art of .preparing and laying 
enamel upon metals, .porcelaine, Sec. and of colouring, 
ainting, and burning in, the fame, by means of the muf- 
e, or enaraeller’s lamp. This art has been greatly de- 
prefted and retarded in Engand, by the confiderable ad¬ 
vantage the enamelled derives from a difeovery of any 
colour uncommonly brilliant, clear, or hard. On this 
account the artift naturally endeavours to keep his procefs 
a fecrefc, as the fouree of private gain. The principal in¬ 
gredients of enamel colours have been, however, long 
known. There are two kinds of enamel, the opake and 
the tranfparent. Tranfparent enamels are ufually ren¬ 
dered opake by adding putty, or the white calx of tin, to 
them. The bafts of all enamels is therefore a perfectly 
tranfparent and fufible gl^fs. The calx of tin renders 
this of a beautiful white, the perfection of which is great¬ 
er when a fmall quantity of manganefe is likewife added. 
If the calx of tin be not fufticient to*deftroy the tranfpa- 
rency of the mixture, it produces a femi-opake glafs, re- 
fembling the opal. Clouet, in his Refearches refpeCting 
the Compofition of Enamel, publilhed in 1S00, gives the 
following improved methods of producing the mod beau¬ 
tiful and permanent colours: 
White enamel, either for china-ware, or the purpofe 
of being applied on metals, is compofed in the following 
manner : Firft calcine a mixture of lead and tin, which 
may be varied in the following proportions, viz. for one 
hundred parts of lead, fifteen, twenty, thirty, and even forty 
of tin. A mixture of lead and tin calcines very eafily in 
contaCt with the air. As loon as this mixture is brought 
to a red heat, it burns like charcoal, and is calcined very 
fpeedily. The compofition which calcines beft, is that 
which in one hundred pounds of lead contains from twenty 
to twenty-five of tin. The tin here meant is pure tin. In 
proportion as the calcination is eftetfted, take out the cal¬ 
cined part, and continue to oxydate the reft until the 
whole has become pulverulent, and of an uniform colour. 
When the proportion of tin exceeds twenty-five or thirty, 
a ftronger fire is neceflary to produce the calcination. A 
hundred parts of the calx above mentioned, which in the 
French potteries is called calcine, is genet ally taken with 
one liundred parts of fand. From twenty-five to thirty
