CHINESE ASIAN GLASS ENAMEL BRASS CLOISONNE DECORATIVE DISH PLATE CHERRY BLOSSOM 6" VTG
Up for your consideration is this Gorgeous Vintage Chinese/Asian? Glass and Brass Cloisonne Decorative Plate that would make a beautifully display. 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. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments to the metal object by soldering or affixing silver or brass as 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. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln. If gemstones or colored glass are used, the pieces need to be cut or ground into the shape of each cloison. This 6" Plate is decorated with beautiful pink cherry blossoms set against a deep brown background and black edge. The back of the plate is two different blue colors which indicates it was most likely made in China. This will make a gorgeous display plate for your collection or Chinese inspired decor.
