Pots or what?

Are the pots porcelain, copper or what? See previous post.

The owner of this image, the V&A, talks of enamel on copper, but I still fail to see how one makes the copper pot to start with. Much more like the sort of thing you knock out on a potter's wheel.

Described as 'pair of cloisonné enamel vases decorated with a bird, Andō Company, Japan'.

Confusion compounded by the enamel porcelain (or perhaps porcelain enamel) portraits of Victoria and Albert at Osborne House, to which I shall return in due course.
