Cloissone Ware - enamelled metal on which the colours of the design are seperated by thin metal. A similar technique employing clay cloisons was used in Ming "Three-colour" Pottery. Strips are set on an edge and are soldered to the back plate. Japanese cloissones are as a rule lighter than Chinese Cloissones.
