When I first saw these vessels by Helen Carnac I thought they had been decorated with a beautiful ceramic glaze, but after closer inspection (and a bit of reading) I've discovered they are works of enamel on steel. The designer/maker combines an exploration of materials & process, combined with deliberation & reflection to produce wonderful pieces of design. I enjoy the uniqueness of each piece and the different details & patterns in all of them, I'd be happy with one or two in my home.
