CHINA EXPORT ENAMELWARE -FOUR PETITE WINE CUPS
c. 1860
<P>Pristene condition. Masterly craftsmanship. Vivid color.
Beautiful
enamelwork. This group is truly a gem!<P>Enamelware
technique is
different from cloissonier, where copper wire is attached to the
brass surface, and then enamel paint is applied to the design
formed by the wire. The wire keeps the enamel from running
into other colors.<P> This piece, and others I will be listing from
the same CT antique dealer's estate, has
no wire, and depends on the skill of the artisan to keep the
paints from running together. <P>Cloissonier has long been
popular. Simple enamelware is as yet mostly undiscovered and
prices
are still affordable. <P>Don't miss this opportunity to start or
add
to a beautiful, and distinctive collection of China Export
enamelware.
