About Cloisonné
Cloisonné is an ancient decorative technique in which metal wires are applied to a metal surface to create compartments (cloisons), which are then filled with coloured enamel paste and fired. Chinese cloisonné has been produced for centuries and remains highly collectible worldwide.
