The origin of cloisonne

There is no unified answer about the origin of cloisonne in archaeology. One view is that cloisonne was born in the Tang Dynasty; Another way of saying this is that Kublai Khan was introduced to China from West Asia and Arabia during the Western Expedition of the Yuan Dynasty, which was first popular in Yunnan and then loved by people in Beijing before being introduced to the Central Plains.

However, one thing is recognized by the academic circles: the Xuande period in Ming Dynasty was the technical advantage of China Cloisonne, which rose to a new height and reached a brilliant stage, and the word "Cloisonne" was born. The glaze color is uniform, the silk work is rough, and the patterns are rich.

Cloisonne craft in the early Qing dynasty has become famous all over the world, and it has been exported abroad in large quantities, becoming an ornament in overseas aristocratic families. Cloisonne in this period is rich in variety and exquisite in production technology. In terms of raw materials, bronze was no longer used as fetal bone in Ming dynasty, but pure copper with strong ductility was used as material, and new tire-making and wire-pinching techniques were applied.

Therefore, the shape of cloisonne is more uniform and diverse than that of Ming Dynasty. The copper wire is thin and uniform, the silk is smooth and graceful, and the patterns are flexible and exquisite. The application scope of utensils is wider than before. In addition to the ritual vessels of the temples in the Ming Dynasty, there are snuff bottles, screens, incense burners, screens, tables and chairs, coffee tables, chopsticks and bowls.
