Claims (17)

1. A material comprising a glass sheet, one face of which comprises an enameled zone coated with an opaque enamel layer and a nonenameled zone, an underlayer which is not an enamel layer being positioned solely in at least a part of the enameled zone, under said enamel layer and in contact therewith.

2. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the enameled zone represents between 2% and 25% of a surface area of the coated face.

3. The material as claimed in claim 2 wherein the enameled zone is provided in the form of a peripheral strip.

4. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nonenameled zone is uncoated.

5. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the underlayer is in contact with the glass sheet.

6. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the underlayer is positioned in the whole of the enameled zone.
