Plique a Jour, (French for "letting in daylight") is a process similar to cloisonne. Enamel is applied in silver or gold filigree cells, much like a stained glass, with no backing in the final product. This technique allows light to shine through for a transparent effect. It's a very technically challenging process which takes months to create.

Made in China for export, using the French technique. Sold as a pair.

Keep in mind ...

Our vintage and antique pieces have traveled throughout the world and survived decades - maybe even centuries - of use. Do not expect them to be in perfect or *new* condition. Signs of their past makers and owners may be noticeable such as small holes, loose threads, & stains. In our opinion, this adds to their charm!
