antique cloisonnÉ vases
Cloisonné is the art of applying enamels of all colors to the surface of a metal object, separated by fine soldered/glued wires, which is then fired to become a beautiful work of art. This technique reached its perfection as a result of the efforts of Chinese and Japanese artisans.
