Cloisonne Vase http://www.desirableart.com

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork  objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut Gemstones ,glass, and other materials. The resulting objectscan also be called cloisonne The decoration is formed by first adding compartments  to the metal object by soldering  or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Cloisonne enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln
