Abstract
Glass sheets according to the invention, in particular lacquered glass sheets, are covered with a coating of enamel. This coating comprises between 11 and 40% of organic material. Such glass sheets may be heat treated and, before heat treatment, may be handled and transported without damaging the coating, may be cut and ground without causing the coating to peel off or to be damaged at the borders of the cutting line, and offer a good resistance under running water, avoiding the peeling off or destruction of the coating during edges grinding or storage or transportation.
