Cloisonné (earthenware)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cloisonné is a glazing technique in which surfaces of a motif are applied to metal or ceramic (earthenware, stoneware and porcelain). The name comes from the French word cloison meaning "partition" or "partition". While metal wires or strips are used for the dividing walls, in ceramics the boundaries between the different color areas are designed as clay ridges.

Cloisonné technique in ceramics

The clay ridges can be applied to a workpiece in different ways. With three-dimensional objects, the clay ridges are usually sprayed onto the unfired workpiece with a balloon syringe. For two-dimensional objects such as tiles, a plaster mold or a linoleum cut can be made from the motif, which is then pressed into the wet clay. After drying and the first baking, the synthetic cookie baking, the surfaces are colored with glaze. Then the workpiece is fired again at a higher temperature, it contains glaze firing. The ridges prevent the different colors of glaze from blending into each other.

Cloisonne tiles

The cloisonné technique is mainly used in the production of tiles, because here the repetition is simple. In the Netherlands, the best known are the cloisonné tiles from the De Porceleyne Fles pottery factory and the Westraven tile factory, which were produced indirectly from 1907 to 1977 in Delft and from 1923 to 1965 in Utrecht.

Cloisonné tiles are also called line relief tiles. featured tiles were made much earlier in Spain, where they were called azulejos de cuenca y arista (tiles with basin and border) or simply azulejos de arista. The first production centers in Spain in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were in the cities of Seville, Toledo and Muel.
