Cloisonné enamel, also known as "掐丝珐琅" (Qiā Sī Fà Láng), is a traditional Chinese art form that has been recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. This exquisite craft involves the meticulous process of applying enamel to metal objects, creating intricate and colorful designs. The term "cloisonné" comes from the French word "cloison," meaning partition, referring to the thin metal strips that divide the enamel into distinct sections.

The process begins with a metal base, typically copper or bronze, which is shaped into a desired form such as vases, bowls, or decorative pieces. Thin metal wires are then soldered onto the surface to form the outlines of the design. Afterward, finely ground glass enamel powders are applied to the enclosed sections. These sections are carefully filled with enamel, and the object is fired multiple times in a kiln to achieve a smooth, lustrous finish.

Cloisonné enamel is known for its vibrant colors and the depth of its craftsmanship. The designs often feature traditional Chinese motifs, such as flowers, birds, dragons, and geometric patterns, showcasing the artistry and cultural symbolism behind the technique. This unique art form requires years of practice and mastery, as it demands precision in both the crafting and the firing process.

Today, cloisonné enamel remains a cherished and respected art form, symbolizing the rich history of Chinese decorative arts and craftsmanship. It continues to be valued for its beauty, durability, and intricate craftsmanship, and is used in creating both traditional and contemporary works of art.
