This technique consists of outlining the outline of the patterns using a thin metal strip welded to the metal field. The cells thus obtained are filled with enamel. Everything is then fired and sanded. The beginnings of the cloisonné enamel technique appeared in mycenaean greece, were taken up in russia, spread throughout europe and then spread to china via the silk road at the start of the ming dynasty (1368-1644).
