NOTES: The term "flinqué" refers to a delicate guilloché pattern—typically a repetitive, engine-turned design—engraved onto a metal base. This pattern is then coated with translucent enamel, allowing light to reflect through the enamel and off the intricate engraving beneath, creating a mesmerizing play of light and texture. The process requires exceptional craftsmanship, as each layer of enamel must be meticulously applied and fired to achieve a flawless, glass-like finish.
