The practice of using painted enamels and gilding to imitate the appearance of cloisonné began during the Qianlong reign, a period in which the imitative capacities of enamels were deployed to reproduce a variety of media. Such playful emulations were the result of technical mastery and experimentation, and were encouraged at the Qing imperial workshops.
