Cloisonné is art of applying colored glass to a surface, in this case brass. The colors are separated by a fine brass filigree, and this particular piece features some beautiful blending/gradients of the enamel within flowers and leaves. The art is even more impressive in smaller pieces bc of the precision it takes to make the design on a smaller scale.
