Cloisonné is an elaborate process performed in Europe and China for centuries. The shape of the urn is firstly formed out of a metal such as copper and coated with a thin coating of enamel before firing. After firing very fine strands of silver wire bent into shapes are glued to the surface forming a raised pattern. The urn is fired again to fuse the two together. A water-based paste of crushed powdered glass (enamel) is painted into the raised patterns and dried before firing again in an oven to melt it onto the metal. Finally the surface undergoes a polishing process to present an everlasting, and very beautiful appearance.
