Cloisonne (Jingtai Lan in Chinese) is a traditional workmanship which has a history of hundreds of years. It is a splendid handiwork making copper and porcelain elegantly integrated together, and is viewed as the essence of Oriental art. Cloisonné making has reached a very mature level since the period of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty (1450-1456). Because blue (blue was spelled Lan in Chinese) was mostly used during that time, so this craftsmanship was later on called Jingtai Lan (Jingtai for its period and Lan for its color). Walking into a tourist market or Chinese art shops, you might easily notice cloisonné and pottery displayed inside which were always looking so gorgeous and florid. The followings are some nice options for cloisonné and pottery shopping in Beijing.
