Overview
Teapots in Europe first appeared as porcelain vessels in which tea was imported from China. In the 18th century, when tea consumption was a luxury, teapots were often made of expensive materials: silver was used in decoration. By the 1780s, as tea became more accessible, teapots increased in size.
Now vases with lids in the Chinoiserie style are extremely popular. Easily fits into any interior.
This vase is distinguished by its characteristic floral painting
Vases made using the Cloisonnet technique
In the art of colored enamel on metal, the term “cloisonné” refers to the cloisonné technique, which replaced the more labor-intensive champlevé enamel practiced by medieval craftsmen, in particular the French city of Limoges in the 12th-13th centuries. According to one version, such a transition occurred under the influence of the art of engraving and the technique of soldered cloisonné stained glass, which was also at one time called “cloisonne”. Limoges craftsmen began to solder onto metal products - vessels, church reliquaries, plaques, decorations - metal partitions “on the end” along the contour of the future design, and the gaps were filled with powder from metal oxides and melt (glass-forming mass). After firing, the molten enamel filled the gaps. A similar technique in jewelry is called filigree
