Thanks.History: Frenchmen were the first to make enamel miniatures in the 17th century by Frenchman Jean Toutin of Chateadun. The English learned the skills in the mid-18th century and applied enamel designs to copper boxes. These boxes, which were painted entirely by hand, captivated Georgian society. This enamel piece represents the success in reviving this tradition. Following the 17th century tradition, numerous different processes were executed by hand during many weeks of work. In addition to the laborious copper cutting, assembly, and enamel painting, numerous firings were conducted with great care to solidify the enamels and brighten the colors. Kelvin Chen has succeeded in reviving the old handmade tradition. This enamel collectible is entirely handmade, and hand painted, much like its English predecessors centuries ago.My shipping price includes my actual postage cost as well as packing/handling cost (bubble wrap, boxes, tape, envelopes, etc.) with transportation to post office and my time. It entails more than the postage stamp amount when it arrives to you. Also note that I recycle materials as much as possible - saving the environment. All that being said I do try hard to be reasonable. Please leave feedback when the item is received, and I will do the same for you.
