Cloisonne or the Blue of Jingta is so durable it will last for many lifetimes. Cloisonne items are being recovered from tombs in Egypt and China. Just think this beautiful little tree could be in the hands of great, great, great plus grandchildren someday.
Cloisonne starts with copper being hand shaped into some form - a tree, a plate, a ball etc. Small copper stripes or filligee are fastened to the object producing the pattern or design. Next paint is applied. The Cloisonne item is then heated until cherry red. The process of painting and firing is repeated four times. The paint is built up layer by layer. If the obect or piece of Cloisonne is not small such as in the case of a plate, vase, or bowl, the object is next ground and polished. Small objects have to many irregular surfaces where grinding and polishing is not possible. Finally the whole Cloisonne object is dipped into gold. The gold attaches to the filligee and basically outlines the design in gold or in the case of a plate, bowl or vase produces a repetitive pattern.
