Fragment from sample set of Chinese cloisonné
Object type: fragment
Date: 1867 – 1900
Materials: copper alloy, enamel, glass
Techniques: enamel
Culture: chinese

The technique of cloisonné is used to create designs on metal vessels by placing colored glass paste within enclosures made of copper or bronze wires, which have been bent or hammered into the desired patterns. Known as cloisons, French for partitions, the enclosures are generally either glued or soldered onto the metal body. Enamel paste, ground from colored glass, is filled into the contained areas of the design. The vessel is usually fired several times at a relatively low temperature, about 800 degrees Celsius. Once this process is completed, the surface of the vessel is polished until the edges of the cloisons are visible, and then to finish the work, gilding is added.

Four prints are hinged on each page of the album with a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century inscription pasted beneath the print on the album page. The prints are etched in the manner of Callot and illustrate Francesco I d'Este's virtuous nature as a ruler in battle, in religious matters, and in daily life. Three of the prints are signed by Jean Sauvé, who presumably worked with Fenice on the execution of the illustrations for this book.

Tile from a Frieze
Object type: tile from a frieze
Date: 1301 – 1333
Materials: glaze, stonepaste
Techniques: luster painting, painting
Location: iran
Subjects: arabic

Once part of a calligraphic frieze within a tomb or religious structure, this tile holds three lines of religious text. Executed in thuluth script, the raised writing of the central band includes the phrase "And pardon us; and forgive" and is part of a Qur’anic verse from Sura 2 (The Cow), Verse 286, which describes God’s mercy and protection. The calligraphic inscriptions painted in luster above and below are from other sections of the Qur’an, although most of the luster on the lower register has worn off. Perhaps set at eye level above a dado of geometric tiles, the full group once formed a continuous band of text. A total of twenty tiles from this frieze are known to exist, including eight in the Museum’s collection.
