Is this all hand painted enamel?
That is quite the size to enamel!

It's one he'll of a lot of work, many firings in the kiln, may be on it a few more months, and thr's two of them. It"s a combination of wet packing and some sifting of the enamel crystals, no painting, all on a copper base, and with copper and fine silver cloisonnes. It will go thru many iterations, and color adjustments. Watch it evolve over time towards completion!
