Champlevé enameling is an ancient decorative technique in which troughs or recessed cells are carved, cast, or etched into a metal surface—typically bronze, copper, or silver—and then filled with vitreous enamel. The piece is fired in a kiln until the enamel fuses, after which the surface is polished to reveal a smooth, vibrant finish level with the surrounding metal. Often used in medieval European art, especially for religious objects, reliquaries, and jewelry, champlevé creates richly colored, intricate designs that contrast beautifully with the gleaming metal framework. The technique is prized for its durability, craftsmanship, and the luminous depth of its glassy enamel inlays.
