What is enamelware and how is it made?
Enamelware is made from powdered glass which is bonded onto heavy-gauge steel. Firstly, the product's form is pressed from a sheet of steel, and then dipped in liquid enamel before being fired in a kiln.
The enamel then hardens to a smooth, durable coating on the steel. In order to give good and long-lasting colour, particular metal oxides are added to each enamel mix, the colours are then a result of a chemical reaction in the kiln. Once the first firing is complete, our distinctive coloured rim is hand-painted, the Falcon Enamelware crest added to the base and the whole thing is re-fired.

What makes Falcon different from other enamel brands?
Falcon enamelware has been in production since the 1920’s, where it has become a classic icon of British home life. In 2011, the current owners revived the brand for the twenty-first century by introducing new colours, new sets and developing the product range. They increased the gauge of the steel in order to make the products more hard-wearing, ensuring they will last for years’ to come. Look out for the Falcon crest at the bottom of all of our enamelware; it’s our stamp of authenticity.
