enamel


Admit it, you were at one point or another a boy or girl scout. And if so you recall there was a small piece of equipment in your rucksack that most had. Before plastic was the standard issue of the scouts and the US Military there was enamelware. These heavy duty guys were your god send when you had to eat, drink, and distill your own water as you traveled. The items were made of iron so they were tough against the elements, while coated in enamel to allow even distribution of searing heat and added protection against iron leaching into your food while you consumed it. Now they have become beautiful relics that come in many different sizes, functions and colors. They are a welcome pop of color to any kitchen or accessory to any bathroom.
