Guillochet and Cloisonne: green enamel -This is a combinationo piece, diameter 1 1/2", rod length 10"
a) Guillochet is a technique of etched undermaterial, with a surface superimposed; see how to do it in easy-to-read form at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilloche. Here, the center looks like a chrysanthemum, and the outer ring is foliage with concentric lines, interspersed with diagonal, decorative divider things; and
b) Cloisonne - a high quality technique - many steps, pressing out a cast, ending with recessed areas and an area of metal separating them, pour in paint powders, heat so it all fuses, finish.
