Vitreous Enamels by Dr Josef Wratil.

Published in 1984 by Borax Holdings Ltd (Now Borax Europe Ltd) the remaining stock of this book has been acquired by the Institute of Vitreous Enamellers. We are making it available free of charge on request. All we ask is that you should cover our postage and packing costs. Whilst the book lacks information on the very latest techniques, the fundamental information and data about vitreous enamel is still most useful. With the lack of “in print” books on the subject, it fulfils a major need.
