[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 3611599, member: 56"]This is my understanding of basse-taille from looking at auction catalogs and books on snuffboxes.

Frankly I don't know if parcel enameling is a real term or not, but yes, enameling of only a part of the surface is what I meant. (Derived it from parcel gilding.)[/QUOTE]
