French term "cloisonne" means "positioned in the cell" refers to the bulkheads and made of copper wire, which are soldered to a metal background, to share the enamel portions of different colors. The cells are filled with enamel and baked, sometimes on several occasions as enamel compressed. The product is calcined at a relatively low temperature sufficient to melt the enamel.
