An anti-microbial porcelain enamel coating and a method of preparing the coating is provided. The porcelain enamel coating contains an anti-microbial agent having an anti-microbial metal compound such as silver, zinc, or copper disposed on a particulate support. The resulting porcelain enamel coating can be used, for example, as a coating over steel for those appliances and sanitary ware fixtures that could benefit from an increased level of resistance to microbes, mold, bacteria, and fungus.
