What is Considered Cloisonné?
Cloisonné is a decorative art form that combines metalwork and enamel to create richly detailed, colorful designs. Found in Chinese, Japanese, and European traditions, cloisonné pieces are valued for their craftsmanship, design, condition, and rarity. From imperial-era vessels to Meiji-period chargers and continental decorative wares, each piece requires expert assessment to determine its true worth.
