Two cloisonné vases in finely enamelled brass decorated with floral motifs. Cloisonné, also called Byzantium lustre, is a technique of artistic enamel decoration, in which thin threads (filigrees) or strips or small metal partitions (usually copper), cells or alveoli (called cloisons in French), are welded or glued to a support slab of the work to be built; subsequently, in the areas raised by the metal, enamel is poured, thus obtaining a sort of mosaic whose tiles are exactly circumscribed by the metal strips. Material: enamelled brass Period: 20th century Origin: China Condition: excellent (look at the photographs, consider the age) Measurements: diameter = 16 cm - height = 26 cm
