Description
Description: A pair of 4" Cloisonne vases. White background with bird, butterfly, and floral decor. Light blue and gilt around rim and base.
History: Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French) to the metal object by soldering or affixing silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln.
Provenance: FL Estate
Dimensions: Weight (Pounds & Ounces) = 0.6 | Height(in) = 8 | Width(in) = 6 | Depth(in) = 6
Size of Artwork(in): 4 x 2 x 2"
Artist Name: Japan
Medium: Porcelain, enamel, gilt.
Circa: Circa 1950
