Experience Cloisonné, also known as Enameled Copperware with Filigree Inlay, a revered Chinese imperial art form boasting over 600 years of history. Each piece is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, meticulously created entirely by hand.

The Essence of Craftsmanship:

1. Copper Core: A fine copper body forms the robust foundation.

2.Filigree Artistry: Master artisans painstakingly bend, shape, and affix hair-thin copper wires onto the surface to outline intricate and exquisite patterns with remarkable precision.

3. Vitreous Enamel Brilliance: Natural mineral enamels, often infused with gemstone elements, are carefully filled into the wire compartments. Through multiple high-temperature firings, the enamels fuse and vitrify, achieving a unique, lustrous finish with deep, radiant brilliance and jewel-like colors.

4. Polishing & Gilding: After dozens of meticulous steps, the surface is polished to a mirror-like smoothness. Exposed copper areas are then adorned with genuine gold gilding, enhancing its regal elegance.

Cloisonné masterfully combines painting, sculpture, metallurgy, and enamel artistry. Its vibrant colors are eternally vivid, never fading. Each piece is a unique work of art, embodying profound Chinese cultural heritage and destined to be a timeless treasure for generations.
