Ronde Bosse
''Ronde-bosse'', ''en ronde bosse'' or encrusted enamel is an enamelling technique developed in France in the late 14th century that produces small three-dimensional figures, or reliefs, largely or entirely covered in enamel. The new method involved the partial concealment of the underlying gold, or sometimes silver, from which the figure was formed. It differs from older techniques which all produced only enamel on a flat or curved surface, and mostly, like champlevé, normally used non-precious metals, such as copper, which were gilded to look like gold. In the technique of enamel ''en ronde-bosse'' small figures are created in gold or silver and their surfaces lightly roughened to provide a key for the enamel, which is applied as a paste and fired. In places the framework may only be wire. The term derives from the French term ''émail en ronde bosse'' ("enamel in the round"); however in French ''en ronde bosse'' merely means "in the round" and is used of any sculpture; in ...

Chaire à Precher Eglise Saint-Etienne Lille
''Chaki'' () is a Japanese term that literally means "tea implement". In the vocabulary of Japanese tea ceremony, it broadly means (1) any implement used in the practice of ''chanoyu'', and more narrowly means (2) the caddy for the powdered green tea (''matcha'') used in the tea-making procedures, although usually this implies (3) the caddies used in the procedures for making thin tea (''usucha''). In this article, the term applies to definition 2. The caddies generally referred to as ''chaki'' are relatively small lidded containers, and are not storage vessels. In preparing to perform a tea-making procedure (''temae''), the host carefully selects the caddy for the ''matcha'' that will be used, and, as an important part of the preparations, neatly places the ''matcha'' into it. The ''chaki'' is chosen to harmonize with the other equipment used for the occasion, and the ''chaki'' is among the items the guests pay particular attention to. ''Chaki'' are classified both by materia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
