Product description
Cloisonné is a technique of enameling in which one attaches crushed wire in certain motifs or figures to a metal surface. This can be done with glue but also by first applying a layer of enamel, then applying the wire to it and heating the object in the oven where the wire partially sinks into the layer of enamel. The spaces between the pieces of wire are covered with different colors of enamel powder. The crushed wire prevents the colors from blending into each other during the heating of the enamel. Each color is thus locked in its own cell. One can also separate the color compartments from each other by clay combs.
In China and Japan, one then polishes the object until no wire protrudes above the enamel.
This form of art was used as early as the 5th century BCE and was widely used in Byzantine architecture. Today, China is the main production country.
