The paper presents a historical evolution of compositions and applications of glazes on various ceramics (majolica, facing tile, glazed pottery, porcelain). The origin and development of artistic and industrial enameling processes for metals are described. The effect of additions in glazes and enamels on the color and transparency of decorative, artistic, and technical vitreous coatings on metallic and nonmetallic materials is exemplified by objects created in different historical epochs.
