This beautiful Plique-A-Jour box is crafted in a similar but more challenging way as cloisonne. However, plique-a-jour takes much more time to create due to the challenging technique of creating each piece. Coupled with a high failure rate, there's no wonder these pieces are not often produced in mass or scale. Much like the appearance of stained glass, these little vessels are translucent and are even more beautiful when light is able to shine through. This little box is in excellent antique condition and measures 3.75" x 2.75" x 3" high on the stand.
