Enamelware China:
The most recognized of all enamelware from the far east is said to be Cloisonne, Cloisonne ware was apparently introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty 1280 to 1368 and is also called "Copper-body and Wire-inlaid Enamel".
Many historians say 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.
Many people claim that Enamelware China is still a thriving industry in China, with the artists' workmanship, that is claimed to be exquisite, producing many decorative items such as clock cases, eggs, bowls and vases.

Cloisonne enameling:
Cloisonne is said to be by far the most creative and eye-pleasing Enamelware China that has come from the far east. Many different countries over the centuries have practised the art of Cloisonne but it was said to be perfected by the Chinese who laced the copper wire with gold and silver to create unique designs.
Decorative Chinese enameling:
Some people claim that enamel ornaments were presented to the royalty and leaders of China as gifts, these gifts would have needed to be highly decorated. Enamelers would use expensive metals such as gold or silver to flake into the enamel paste to give it a high quality shine when set.
Some enamel objects had precious stones used in the enameling process, these were usually vases and jewelry boxes.
Chinese Enameled Beads:
Enameled beads are another product of China's enameling skills. These small beads are commonly used on necklaces,
bracelets and other types of jewelry. The Enamelware China beads are sometimes said to be decorated with cloisonne.
