Ewer 18th century China The earliest securely dated Chinese cloisonné, in which colored glass paste is applied within metal enclosures and fired, dates from the reign of the Ming Xuande emperor (1426-35). However, cloisonné is recorded during the previous (Yuan) dynasty (1271-1368), and it has been suggested that the technique was introduced to China at that time via the western province of Yunnan, which under Mongol rule received an influx of Islamic people. The shape of this ewer, which was introduced to China in the early fifteenth century, also derives from Islamic metalwork. Ewer. China. 18th century. Cloisonné enamel. Qing dynasty (1644-1911).
