What reading level is Enamelling a Comparative Account of the Development And Practice of the Art book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The white, apparently painted on the trans- lucent colour, is shaded by way of difference (as may 1 66 be seen in the animals) with little dots of black, " poinctille, " as a Frenchman would call it. On the base of the cup is some amber colour, not, so far as I know, to be found in Venetian enamel. The little flowers, stars, crescents, and rays of gold or gilt foil, which have been embedded in the enamel ground and rise slightly above its surface, form a distinctive feature in the work. The Bur...gundian cups are of the fifteenth century; the more ornamental "Venetian" work is of the sixteenth at earliest ; and the painting in gold upon this last is probably only a cheaper way of getting the effect of foil. Brushwork allows, of course, a much freer and more effective use of gold.
The relation of the Burgundian method to cloisonne is shown in a fifteenth century spoon in the Victoria and Albert Museum (95, 96), which is said to be of German workmanship. We find in it again transparent green and purple and opaque white grounds, with silver gilt ornament embedded in it, the leaves chased in delicate relief, the stalk patterned, and the ground under the clear enamel tooled to give brilliancy to the colour.
