Abstract: A plastic cloisonne article and method of making same is provided. The plastic cloisonne article includes a plastic substrate which can be pre-molded into a fixed shape, a framework of metal wire for forming a design on the plastic substrate, one or more colored glazes, and a clear glaze which covers the outer surfaces of the colored glazed plastic substrate. The plastic substrate is preferably comprised of a high density polystyrene, polyprophylene, polyurethane or polyethylene which has a high melting point and is sufficiently rigid to withstand the temperature of firing. The plastic cloisonne article can be formed into such shapes which include, but are not limited to, ornaments, Christmas ornaments, boxes, vases, picture frames, coasters, etc.
