Cloisonné is a decorative art technique involving metalwork and enamel work. Metal wire is soldered to a metal base, creating designs and cellular spaces. These spaces or ''cloisons'' (a French word meaning ‘compartment’) are filled with enamel paste. The production of Japanese cloisonné enamels had, by the end of the 19th century, become one of the country''s most successful forms of manufacture and export.
