Note:

The technique of plique-à-jour ("letting in daylight" in French) is a challenging method similar to small scale stained windows, originally developed in the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century AD. The technique uses backing and translucent enamel to create small, jewel-like works of art.

空窗珐琅是一种古老而独特的珐琅工艺,起源于公元前四世纪的拜占庭帝国,工匠通常先用金银丝创造轮廓,接着将珐琅填入空窗空格之中,最后呈现薄如蝉翼,光线下透明似窗的效果。
