Vintage Cloisonné Enamel and Brass Jewelry Box, Trinket Box, Depiction of a Flying Bird
Cloisonné, in the decorative arts, is an ancient enameling technique, which consists of soldering to a metal surface delicate metal strips bent to the outline of a design and filling the resulting cellular spaces, called cloisons (French: “partitions” or “compartments”), with vitreous enamel paste. The object then is fired, ground smooth, and polished.
