- Copper Wire Cloisonne, also known as "Cloisonne" or "Inlaid Cloisonne," is a traditional Chinese metalcraft. Soft, flat copper wires are bent and soldered onto a copper base in intricate patterns. Enamel glazes are then filled into these patterns and fired, creating ornate objects. It is recognized as a prestigious Chinese art form and holds national intangible cultural heritage status
- Thin strips of copper or silver are carefully bent and affixed to the porcelain surface using a special adhesive. These strips outline the design and create compartments (cloisons) that will hold the enamel. Colored enamel paste, made from powdered glass and pigments, is carefully applied into each cloison compartment. Multiple layers of enamel may be applied to achieve the desired color intensity and depth.
- This set of teapots uses the pure hand-inlaid blue and white silver dragon craft. The silver threads are delicate and the craft is carefully made through three processes, starting with the underglaze blue and white process on the porcelain body. Then the hand-made wire drawing (using 999 pure silver) is done, and it is fired twice at a high temperature of 800 degrees. Finally, a layer of 24K gold is added as a filling to ensure that the tea set is both luxurious and practical.
- The blue pattern of the Blue and White Teapot is set against the white body, which is clear and elegant, just like a traditional Chinese ink painting that makes people feel relaxed and happy. Its exquisite craftsmanship and the combination of porcelain and silver are not only beautiful, but also beneficial to human health. The ancients said: "Carry silver with you, and health and wealth will be with you." This is not only because of silver's precious metal properties, but also because of its medical value. Its effect on human health is higher than that of gold.
- The pattern of entwined lotus on the Blue and White Teapot symbolizes purity, nobility, and growth. In Chinese culture, the lotus is revered as a symbol of purity and auspiciousness, and its resilient growth is also seen as a symbol of virtue.
- The enamel craft transplants the painted enamel technique onto the porcelain body, forming a unique overglaze decoration technique that was deeply loved by Emperor Kangxi and is a representative of royal porcelain. The blue and white craftsmanship makes the patterns on the surface of the tea set lifelike, with a strong coloring rate and a simple and elegant style.
- The Cloisonné Enamel Painted Silver Dragon Teapot will be a rare treasure. Each piece demonstrates the ingenious craftsmanship and the ultimate pursuit of quality.
