Art Deco Cloisonne Pineapple

Description

The handcrafted cloisonné ‘Welcome Green Pineapple’ sitting ornament is a delightful addition to any room or dining area in all seasons. Crafted with filigree wire, it features glazed enamel over copper, fired at high temperatures (800°C). Since enamels tend to shrink after firing, the process is often repeated to complete the designs, followed by 22K gilding. This labor-intensive piece, which marries a centuries-old technique with modern artistry, boasts shiny gold that highlights exceptional craftsmanship and durability. It’s a tropical keepsake that endures.
