CLOISONNE or Shippo is a kind of enamel having a beautiful polish and high colour. The process of making Cloisonne is long and intricate. First the coppersmith moulds and cuts the copper into the shape desired, then wire is fired on the piece according to the design already drawn. The spaces between the wire are filled in with enamel of different colours and fired. This firing process is repeated seven or eight times, each time more enamel being filled in. After the piece has been fired it is put in the polisher's hands and becomes a beautiful piece of finished cloisonne of many colours and designs.
