Late 19th - early 20th Century Chinese Cloisonné Stash. Cloisonné involves soldering thin metal wires onto a metal base to create compartments (cloisons), which are then filled wit h enamel paste made from powdered glass. The piece is fired multiple times in a kiln to fuse the enamel and achieve a smooth, glossy surface. The process requires precision and skill, as the enamel can shrink or change color during firing. This art form originated in China over a thousand years ago, first emerging during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) DIMENSIONS (IN) 2.5 Diam x 3 H Show more
