Cloisonne' Glass Floral Bell

Glass bells could also be decorated in a variety of ways, including cutting, engraving, and etching .This traditional Chinese Cloisonne' Bell in Glass is delicately cut near the flowers.The colours used are also unusual. Prior to glass cutting, selectors inspect finished bells. Once defective items were removed, the remaining bells are sent on to markers. Markers would use red lead and oil of turpentine or stencil ink to mark the general outlines of the pattern on the glass for the cutters. Lines and dots were used to indicate exactly where the cutters were to place the designs.
