- They have been made in a very similar way for many years.
- The cloisonne enamel is made by dividing the different areas to be enamelled by means of small partitions.
- By means of these partitions, the design is defined and then each area is filled with the various enamels of different colours and shades and finished by firing it in a kiln.
