On a light body there stands a bright multi-colored vases composition in the form of a flower and dragonfly. Such a figure - one of the traditional themes of Chinese decorative arts. 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. After firing vessel is polished to form a smooth surface, aligned with the edges of the partitions. The protruding edges of walls are usually covered with gold leaf.
