Re: ARTICLE ON RETHINKING EARLY CHINESE CLOISONNE

Here's a link to an art magazine article regarding Chinese 18th century imports of European blue cobalt pigments, probably sent in the form of a glass called smalt. The article only mentions this in the context of porcelain decoration, but such pigment likely also could be used in the finer cloisonne made in China at the same time. I'd speculate these cobalt imports were brokered by the Jesuit missionaries who acted as advisors to the Imperial Palace at that time, including Italian Giuseppe Castiglione, an accomplished artist himself, who signed his Qianlong-era paintings with the Chinese name Lang Shining.

Best regards,

Bill H.
