I want to explore plique-a-jour on a curved surface. This will be quite the challenge but I think it will work out one way or another.
Plique-à-jour (French for "letting in daylight") is a vitreous enamelling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. It is in effect a miniature version of stained-glass.

I find this technique captivating and the results are just so beautiful.
I am striving to complete a 6" raised vesel with about a half of plique-a-jour around the rim.
Some artists who do plique-a-jour who are of interest are:
