19th Century Cloissone Vase is an exceptional example of the genre, retaining rich coloration and exhibiting a large format design theme celebrating the natural beauty of flowers.  Decorated in the round, brass wire was carefully affixed to the brass vase, then the spaces created were filled with various colors of enamel, with the final product being fired one last time to create the exquisite works of art before you.  Exquisitely rich coloration of the cobalt blue, copper red and two shades of green, it will be perfect for adding a splash of color to your decor, even if not filled with fresh flowers!  Cloissone techniques originated in the Far Orient, and were copied by many nations including France, which chose to call the process Champleve and can be traced back as early as the ancient Celts.
