Xi'an Cloisonné

Xi'an Cloisonné

　　Xi'an Cloisonné is a renowned handicraft and tourist souvenir from Xi'an. Named after the Jingtai era of the Ming Dynasty when it was most popular, and due to its frequent use of gemstone blue and peacock blue glazes, it is called Cloisonné. The production of Xi'an Cloisonné carries forward the traditional characteristics of this ancient Chinese craft—such as uniquely shaped objects, solemn patterns, rich colors, and a resplendent golden brilliance—while emphasizing the fusion of historical styles with the unique features of various ethnic groups in Northwest China, resulting in a distinctive style of its own. At the same time, Xi'an Cloisonné breaks away from the relatively limited traditional forms such as vases, basins, pots, and jars, creating a more lifestyle-oriented and practical product range. In terms of craftsmanship, it boldly incorporates techniques from lacquerware inlay, giving the pieces a strong sense of three-dimensionality.
