Abstract: AbstractMedieval champlevé enamelled objects are from copper sheets decorated with glass. The enamels were analysed by Raman spectroscopy to study the compositional differences in the glass matrix. Additional analyses were carried out by element analytical methods such as μ‐X‐ray fluorescence analysis and environmental scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray analysis. The two most frequently used glass types are mineral soda lime glass opacified with antimony compounds and vegetal soda lime glass with a more significan...
