Cloisonné Vase
Large brass vase with cloisonné decoration, perhaps one of the largest made. Equipped with original pedestal.
Cloisonné Process
Once the container is made of smooth bronze, copper, silver or gold foils are glued on it, in the desired shapes. Then fine silver powder is spread over it and the object is heated in the oven to weld the plates to the vase. At this point the different cells are filled with the various colors obtained from vitreous pastes which are ground and placed in aqueous suspension. After several passages in the kiln and addition of color as this shrinks with heat, the piece is polished with pumice by hand or on the lathe.Private Collection (20° secolo)
