Gaud, tout en cousant cette robe, avait l’oreille à une conversation sur les choses d’Islande, qui se tenait derrière la cloison entre madame Tressoleur et deux retraités assis à boire.

These tints were always fused separately, one in each cloison: the Greeks in this period never tried to blend colours, and more than one tint never appears in a compartment.

The bricks were of very open texture, and the ornamental pattern or figure subjects were obtained by a strong outline in dark-coloured clay which formed a kind of _cloison_ or boundary, the shallow cells between being filled in with coloured clays--yellow, red or white--or with coloured glazes of turquoise, green or blue, yellow and purplish brown.

Occasionally the secondaries, green and purple, are used, but through the whole period of Byzantine enamelling there is a total absence of what to-day is termed "subtle colouring." The arrangement of the enamels is also distinct, in that the divisions of the colours are not always made by the cloison, but are frequently laid in side by side without the adjoining colours mingling or running together whilst being melted.

For until then the whole theory of enamelling had been that it relied upon the enclosing edges of the metal or the cloison to hold it to the metal ground and in part to preserve it in the shape of the pattern, much in the same way as a setting holds a stone or a jewel.
