Source Description
In cloisonné enameling, the decorative patterns are outlined by soldering metal wires (usually copper) to a metal base, creating a network of cells, or cloisons, to be filled with powdered enamels. Here. a turquoise ground separates the stylized chrysanthemum flower and leaf pattern, which winds around the neck and body. After firing, the enamels are polished to create a smooth surface level with the cloisons. The exposed metal surfaces are gilt.
