Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects with colored material held in place or separated by metal strips or wire, normally of gold. In recent centuries, vitreous enamel has been used. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln. The Cloisonné technique dates back several millenium. Cloisonné first developed in the jewelry of the ancient Near East, and the earliest enamel all used the cloisonné technique, placing the enamel within small cells with gold walls. This had been used as a technique to hold pieces of stone and gems tightly in place since the 3rd millennium BC, for example in Mesopotamia, and then Egypt. Enamel seems likely to have developed as a cheaper method of achieving similar results. The technique reached China in the 13–14th centuries; the first written reference is in a book of 1388, where it is called "Dashi ware." By the beginning of the 18th century the Kangxi Emperor had a cloisonné workshop among the many Imperial factories. In much of Chinese cloisonné, blue is usually the predominant color, and the Chinese name for the technique, jingtailan ("Jingtai blue ware"), refers to this, and the Jingtai Emperor. 3672
