About Enamelware:
Enamelware was the first mass-produced American kitchenware. Production began in the 1870s, and continued through the 1930s. Items such as pots, kettles baking tins, and ladles were stamped from thin sheets of iron, steel, or aluminum, then coated with enamel, which was fused to the metal in a very hot oven. Enamelware became popular largely in part because it is much lighter than the average kitchenware, easier to clean and less fragile than china. Enamelware usually came in blue, red, purple, brown, green, pink, gray and white. White was the most common.
