Cloisonné, short for fetal copper filigree enamel, is a representative of Beijing handicrafts. The major manufacturing flow of cloisonné includes body making, wire inlay, applying the enamel, firing, polishing, and gold plating, together some one hundred small processes. First, craftsmen make the body of utensils with copper; then they shape fine brass wires into patterns and weld them into the body, the so-called wire inlay; then they apply enamel glaze of different colors into the patterns, called applying the enamel; then they put the work into furnace, called firing. Applying the enamel and firing have to be repeated three times. At last, utensils have to be polished, and brass wires that shape the patterns have to be gilded so as to make them shinier. Cloisonné won the favor of imperial family for its magnificence and gorgeousness.
