What is "cloisonné"?
Cloisonné is a decorative technique used to create intricate designs on metal objects. It involves creating small compartments, or "cloisons", on the surface of the object by using thin metal strips or wires. These compartments are then filled with colored enamel or other materials and fired in a kiln to fuse the enamel to the metal. The result is a vivid, detailed design with distinct outlines and vibrant colors. This technique is often used for items such as jewelry, vases, and decorative boxes, providing a beautiful and durable finish.
