While enamelled metal drinking-vessels date back to Antiquity, I am not sure how early the first pieces of enamelled glassware appeared. These pieces are almost always drinking-vessels -- though the shape and the decoration styles vary greatly. There are also several mosque lamps done in this style (these may be broken out into their own linkspage at some point in the near future).
The links are divided up by the region of origin (which work out to be roughly chronological clusters). Here are some more links on enamelling and glassworking . You can emulate this sort of decoration relatively easily if you'd like to paint your own feastware .
