Cloisonné enameled tea box, blue diamond, extra tall

NB This beautiful pot came in with some damage to the side. It is still very beautiful in total, but we have reduced it's price considerably because of the damage. Please examine the pictures carefully.

Extra tall blue and white diamond patterned cloisonné with copper details made by Paris based artist Fabienne Jouvin. The cloisonné is made by the ancient technique for metal decorating, where the copper compartments are first added to the jar by fixing the thin copper strips on the jar’s edges. Then the jar is covered with enamel powder  paste and fired in a kiln, resulting in colored compartments with vitreous enamel. The copper remains visible in the finished piece and separates the different compartments.
