FAQs

The Meiji period (18681912) in Japan marked a golden age for cloisonne enamelware, characterised by rapid technical advancements and the production of highly intricate designs for both domestic and international export markets.

Cloisonne is crafted by soldering thin metal flat wires (cloisons) onto a metal base body, such as copper or brass, to form compartments. These sections are then filled with coloured vitreous enamel paste and fired multiple times before grinding and polishing to a smooth finish.

Authentic pieces from the Meiji period typically feature fine, meticulously applied brass or copper wiring, subtle imperfections consistent with handcrafting, and heavy metal bodies. Advanced works often display signature maker marks on the base or rim, though unsigned items are also common.

An antique vase of this scale functions effectively as a focal point when placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table. Pairing it with minimalist surrounding decor allows the complex colours and hand-crafted details to stand out without visual clutter.

Preserve antique cloisonne by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the enamel. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or immersion in water to protect the delicate metal wires and polished finish.
