What is Cloisonné?

Cloisonné is an ancient enameling technique that involves applying fine metal wires to a metal surface to create intricate compartments (cloisons), which are then filled with colorful enamel. After multiple firings, the enamel fuses into a smooth, glass-like finish, resulting in breathtaking patterns and textures. Highly sought after by collectors, cloisonné became a hallmark of Chinese decorative arts during the Ming and Qing dynasties, celebrated for its brilliance, durability, and exceptional craftsmanship.
