How can I tell if enamel is real?
1 Answer
How to tell if enamel is real depends on what type of item you are attempting to authenticate. Generally, you should look for evidence that the enamel is not simply a painted finish. A licensed appraiser experienced in the type of item can assist you with determining the authenticity of it. You'll find a wide range of enamel ware on 1stDibs.
