Enamel Art: East Meets West

-

It is believed that ancient Egyptians integrated glass and metal craftsmans­hip to develop enamel production techniques. After thousands of years of evolution and trade exchange, enamel products spread to China around the 12th century. Although the brightly colored and exquisitel­y crafted works originated in the West, they eventually blossomed into beautiful artistic flowers in the ancient Eastern country.

Nowadays, the items once reserved for royal collection­s are widely used in daily life, adding a touch of color to the aesthetics of modern Chinese art.
