Product Details

Cloisonne enamel involves creating compartments or cells, typically using metal wires, on a metal object and then filling the cells with colored enamel paste. The object is then fired in a kiln to fuse the enamel and create a smooth, glossy surface.

The dragon is a symbol of power and strength in Japanese culture, and it is often depicted in art and mythology. These vases feature intricate designs and vibrant colors, with the double dragons on each vase depicted in various poses and settings.
