The cloisonne process is an ancient Chinese art where copper wire is formed and filled and fired 6 separate times to get the beautiful finished pieces.
Also, the jade factory showed us how to tell the difference between real and fake jade. (Real jade has a high pitch when you hit it with other jade or any metal.) We saw this horse carving that is made entirely out of one piece. Such talent and artistry in this country!
