Cloisonné Filigree is a traditional Chinese art form, originating in the Yuan Dynasty and flourishing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Fine metal wires are shaped into patterns and affixed to a metal base, forming compartments filled with colored enamel paste. The pieces are fired, resulting in a smooth, polished, and vibrant finish.
