Chinese Cloisonné

Chinese cloisonné is an intricate decorative craft where artisans create vivid, detailed designs on metal objects, typically using copper or bronze bases. They shape thin metal wires into patterns, then fill the enclosed areas with colorful glass paste called enamel. The piece is fired at high temperatures, fusing the enamel into a smooth, durable surface. After cooling, it is polished to reveal vibrant, intricate patterns often featuring dragons, flowers, or mythological motifs. Cloisonné showcases skilled craftsmanship and combines metalworking and glass art, producing durable, collectible decorative items often used in jewelry, vases, and ornaments.
