Monday blind spot time! I realise that "cloisonné" is also the term used in English, but how does the "en métaux" fit into this sentence?
Les plus anciennes pièces de bijouterie et d’orfèvrerie émaillées en «cloisonné» sur métaux (or, argent, cuivre, bronze) proviennent de Chypre et datent de l’époque mycénienne, très vraisemblablement vers le 13ème siècle avant J.-C. Cette technique s’est répandue par la suite en Egypte puis en Grèce vers le 6ème siècle avant J.-C.

"using cloisonné enamel on metal", the metal being the basis (support) for the enamelwork.
"Vitreous enamel is glass bonded by fusion to a metal surface. The most common glass is a fusion of silica, soda, lime, and a small amount of borax. Though normally transparent, various amounts of opacity can be produced by adding or growing crystals within the glass structure. A wide range of colors are produced by incorporating certain elements, mostly transition metals. The physical properties of glass can be controlled to permit bonding to most metals, for example: gold, platinum, silver, copper, steel, cast iron, aluminum and titanium."

Comment: "Not much difference between some of the answers, but points to Sandra for her "using cloisonné enamel on metal" suggestion. I've actually opted for something like "that make use of the technique of cloisonné enamel on metal". BTW "plate" was GD's suggestion ("Terme général souvent utilisé pour désigner des vases ou des ustensiles en argent ou en or"), though I switched to gold and silverware in the end. Thanks, everyone!"

Why not?
And BTW, where did this "plate" come from?

Of course, "metal" singular might be better, unless you want to get rid of the parentheses, and say "metals such as...".

You may have a point about "such as", though "metals" is OK. As to "in cloisonné", it is common enough, makes sense, and is perfectly comprehensible.

Guessing. I can only imagine that the first cloisonné was on ceramics, either with metal wire embedded into the clay to form the cells, or with clay removed to form hollow cells separated by higher lines of clay.

Le goût pour les objets en cloisonné se développe en parallèle de celui pour les porcelaines, surtout aux périodes Ming (1368 - 1644) et Qing (1644 - 1911) ; dans les deux cas il s'agit d'un attrait pour une couleur intense et une matière brillante. La technique de base consiste à APPLIQUER SUR UN CORPS EN METAL (argent, or, mais le plus souvent cuivre ou laiton), OU MEME EN CERAMIQUE, VERRE... des émaux contrastés.Il existe différentes catégories d'émaux. La technique la plus répandue dans le monde chinois est celle de l'émail cloisonné.

cloisonné enamelled on metals
Although the cloisonné technique can only be on metal, this text lists the metals in brackets, so you can't leave it out. I often remove the brackets and use "such as" in this kind of situation.

Sandra Petch
: I would say "metal" as a generic term; and as this text refers to specific pieces (earliest examples) the list of metals could be exhaustive whereas "such as" suggests there can be more :-)

yes - forget "such as" in that case.
