at last,i'll join the package tour to Beijing on 22/9/05.
wonder friends out there know a little about Cloisonne (in mandarin we call 'JingTaiLan')? I know i'll love it but heard that it's quite expensive, maybe due to the workmanship.anyway, how much it cost, for let say--a vase?

I think Cloisonne is quite cheap, five years ago, I bought 3 Cloisonne bracelets with 5 yuan, and the workmanship was good, the colors and everything in its original state...

Thanks,Rita.but i confuse about the Cloisonne that you'd said to what i knew. Would you mind to describe what the Cloisonne is. And how to call it in Mandarin ?

maybe different place has the different price. in the city i stay, the cloisonne is very expensive. i bought a cloisonne which is a little bigger than a mung bean, it cost me 25yuan.

if u dong't want to cheat by someone, just bargain with the vendor.

good luck!
