TECHNIQUE: "Émaux Ombrants" is a truly difficult technique to manufacture, translated from French as "enamel shadows". It uses the transparency of glazes to produce it's effect but it is the negative transparency, the shadows, that define Émaux Ombrants. Unlike majolica tiles the glaze surface of an Émaux Ombrants tile is almost flat, not embossed. The surface is smooth and almost flat but the image is crisp and has great depth, rather like a modern day holograph.Condition: No hairlines, there is a fleabite on border, shown on pic, some light surface scratches commensurate with age and some bubbles from manufacturer.
