CHAMPLEVE' ~ In appearance ... The design is made by carving, engraving or stamping the pattern, lines or cells into the metal. The design is then filled with enamel powder and fired. The design may be a simple design or cut away so extensively that it gives an appearance of cloisonne'. An advantage over cloisonne' is that the shapes can be much more fluid and undercutting can achieve additional fineness of detail.
