Partially filled cloisonné enamel of this sort is rarely found in vessels, but
can be seen in snuff bottles which were presumably made from the same
workshop. The sophistication in this technique is best represented in the
current bowl, where thin strips of wire, known as cloisons, are soldered onto
the bronze body, creating separate channels, which are then individually
filled with different coloured enamels, providing a design in relief against
the unfilled gilded ground. (mark)
