🎧  Listen to Introduction

Cast-body cloisonné enamel making technique is a traditional handicraft belonging to the "Cloisonné" series. It uses copper casting as the body, and after processes such as cloisonné, enamel painting, polishing, and gilding, it finally forms a high-end artistic ornament with elegant shape, exquisite patterns, and attractive colors. This cast-body cloisonné enamel technique, which was popular in the early Ming Dynasty in my country, was lost due to the use of thin bodies forged from pure copper, different glazes, and the difficulty of mastering the firing temperature. Among the existing cloisonné enamelware, cast-body cloisonné enamelware after the end of the Ming Dynasty has basically disappeared. In the authoritative classics such as "Complete Collection of Chinese Traditional Crafts" and "Complete Collection of Chinese Fine Arts" in my country today, there is still a blank for the description of cast-body cloisonné enamel technique. Anhui Foguang Copper Crafts Co., Ltd., located in Tongcheng, Anhui, has a history of nearly 20 years of entrepreneurship and development. The company started out by making jade and copper crafts, and has made unremitting efforts to explore and develop traditional Chinese crafts. The cast enamelware produced using this technique has won the Outstanding Work Award issued by the China Art Casting Professional Committee for many times, and has participated in auctions at major domestic auction houses and exported to Europe, America, Southeast Asian countries and regions, creating considerable economic benefits. After evaluation by famous domestic experts, scholars and arts and crafts masters, it is unanimously agreed that the cast-body cloisonné enamel craft has inherited the cloisonné production process and has made major breakthroughs in the excavation, preservation, research and development of the cast-body cloisonné enamel craft after years of research and development. Its economic value and technological value are immeasurable. The cast-body cloisonné enamel production technique is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people. It embodies the hard work of artists from all dynasties and shines with the profound brilliance of the Chinese national culture. Its inheritance and protection have made an indelible contribution to the promotion of the development of Chinese arts and crafts.
