Article on Chinese Cloisonne Manufacture in March 6, 1920 Issue of Scientific American

 Quaint but informative, useful evidence for the style of some of the shapes the coppersmiths were producing.

As to these coppersmiths, Juliet Bredon, in her 1922 guide to Peking, recounts the fate of the monks at one of the temples (last slide).

The last paragraph in the Scientific American article, however, is 100% wrong.
