In ceramics terms an enamel is a glass or glaze-like substance, which is applied either to a fired ceramic body or on top of a fired glaze. In either case, after the application of the enamel the ceramic object is fired a second time at a lower temperature than the initial biscuit or glaze firing. Overglaze enamels seem first to have been used in China in the Jin period (1115-1279) at the Cizhou kilns. Certain combinations of underglaze blue and enamels, and certain palettes of enamel colours on Chinese porcelain have recognised names. The best knowns are doucai, wucai, famille verte (wucai or yingcai) and famille rose (fencai)

Glass or similar material fused to the surface of metal.
A colored opaque glass or glaze-like substance that is bonded to a metal surface. In China, enamels can be applied to metal, ceramic or glass bodies. In ceramics, enamels may be applied either to a pre-fired, unglazed body, or painted onto the surface of a high-fired glaze, after which the object is fired a second time at a lower temperature. Overglaze enamels seem first to have appeared in China on stonewares made at the Cizhou kilns in the Song or Jin dynasties. Certain Chinese enamel colour palettes are known by specific names, such as wucai, yingcai, famille verte, famille noire, famille jaune, fencai, and famille rose.

Enamel is one of several types of paint used on models. It is most commonly found in small bottles and spray ( rattle) cans. Most enamels are solvent-based, but acrylic enamels are water-based. Model builders must be aware of the types of paint they use on models, because different types of paint may not be compatible with plastic and/or each other. The rule is that enamel may be used over lacquer, but lacquer cannot be used over enamel, since it will usually damage the underlying layer of enamel.
