i found this brass box today. it has written in the tiniest letters i've ever seen embossed on the bottom 'Made in India'. What kind of enamelling is this called? thank you!

Pretty design
champleve, a French term, which means raised surface or field, the motif is impressed in the metal and the cavities are filled with various enamel and then fired to set them on the metal. Looks like a very nice cigar box with the wood lining.
thank you truthordare! that's exactly what i was trying to remember the name of: Champleve! thanks Newfld too!
This is also Benares Ware - early 20th century. Decent quality.
