Cloisonne is an ancient technique for decorating metal ware items. Small individual cells are formed from metal which is then filled, making Cloisonne enamel involves filling these cells with powdered enamel which is then fired and polished.
Enamel (vitreous enamel) also known as porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C. The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating. The word vitreous comes from the Latin vitreus, meaning “glassy”.
