Enameling in its simplest form is the fusing of glass to metal at high temperatures. Craftsmen have used enamel for its intrinsic qualities of hardness, brightness and permanence, and have taken advantage of its elusiveness and mutability to suggest among other things, precious stones, filigree inlay work, stained glass and even painting. In cloisonné ,ribbons of gold wire are attached to a metal base to form cells. Colors of ground enamel
are inlaid into the cells and fired at 1500 degrees in successive layers until they are nearly level with the top of the wires.
The whole piece is then ground to a single level, leaving the design defined by thin wires embedded in the enamel.
