Cloisonne has been a traditional enameling technique dated back to Ming and Qing dynasties. People admire it for its rich color scheme and elegant design. The process is labor-intensive and requires great workmanship. Skillful craftsmen first bend strips of metal to outline a design and solder to a metal surface. The hollow spaces are then filled with colorful enamel paste. The masterpiece is then fired and polished.
