Blue is the dominant color used for enameling. The technique uniquely combines porcelain and bronze. The diversified cloisonne products feature brilliant colors and splendid design, such as vase, jar, bowl, plate and ash-try. Beijing is the cradle of cloisonne technique.

Cloisonne making requires six procedures. Firstly, hammered and stretched copper is used to make the roughcast of the body. Secondly, copper strips of 1/16 inch in diameter are attached to the body, according to the blueprint in the mind of craftsman. Thirdly, enamel is filled and then the body shows different color due to different added minerals. Fourthly, filling is repeated during the body is fired red. Fifthly, the half product is polished until the filled parts are even and smooth. At last, the article is gilded with changing electric current to keep the cloisonne free from rust.
