If the dish/vessel in used in a drug crystalisation process it probably need to be heated up from underneath, much like a kettle. So I suppose that's where the meaning comes from but they would not be using a kettle as such, I don't think.

#2 I am also curious as to how the word duplicator can take on the function of a kettle in Czech.

#1 we also have smaltovana nadoba. It refers to a drug crystallization study or project.

enamel kettle

As Prokop indicated, though, a bit more clarification on the "Duplikator" would be useful.

enameled kettle

My dics helped me find a little bit simplified answer: enameled kettle.
However, it would help if you could specify the purpose of the "duplikator", its use, or description.
"Smaltovany" is commonly translated into Czech as "enameled".
"Enamel jacketed" sounds like "covered with enamel".

In that case I think that you can use "enameled", because this is the adjective used for things covered with enamel, like brick, wire, kettle, glass, etc.
