Modern Chinese cloisonne is a decorative art, hand-applied via a five step process: First, copper sheet is hammered to the shape of the object, such as a cloisonne vase, plate or bowl. Then pure copper or silver wire is bent into shapes that define the colored areas. The wires are soldered or glued to the copper body. The cloisonne wire pattern may consist of several intricately constructed wire patterns that fit together into a larger design. Then the artisans apply enamel to the compartments separated by the filigree. Then, the enameled copper ware is fired, polished, and dipped in gold or silver to gild it.

Dragon is one of the most favored subjects for Chinese cloisonne wares. In today's market, you can find all sorts of cloisonne dragon vase, cloisonne dragon plate and bowl, even cloisonne dragon pins. The reason behind this is that dragon is the beloved symbol of China, the symbol of power, energy and high spirit.

Our Chinese cloisonne products are designed and made by highly skilled cloisonne artisans with at least 15 years of experience in the trade. Look at our 12 inch cloisonne vase with two shrikes - see how the wires are laid fluently and how the enamels gradually change from one color to the other?
