Cloisonné ware was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty 1280 to 1368 and is also called "Copper-body and Wire-inlaid Enamel".
The Art became popular during the Ching Tai epoch of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1450-1457). This technique became so popular and the "Blue" color was the major color used, hence the traditional name of "CHINGTAI BLUE" was established.
The Art is still a thriving industry in China, with the artists' exquisite workmanship producing many decorative items such as clock cases, eggs, bowls and vases.
