FAQs

Cloisonne enamel was developed in China during the Yuan dynasty and reached immense technical refinement during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Artisans soldered thin metal wires onto a copper or bronze base to form intricate patterns, which were then filled with coloured glass pastes, fired, and polished smooth.

These footed vessels were crafted using a cast copper or gilt bronze body with fine wire partitions forming the design network. Mineral-based enamel pastes provided the vibrant colours, while exposed metal elements, such as rims and foot borders, were frequently gilded.

Authentic Qing dynasty pieces usually exhibit fine wire work with slight irregularities typical of hand manufacturing, along with small pitting or air bubbles within the enamel surface. The metal bases often display natural patination and gilding wear consistent with age rather than uniform artificial distress.

A pair of footed cloisonne tazzas can be displayed symmetrically on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open bookcase to introduce rich colour and texture. They function well as standalone sculptural objects or as elevated decorative dishes within a curated vignette.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dusted or dry to remove surface dirt. Avoid immersion in water, harsh detergents, or abrasive polishes, as moisture can seep through fine cracks in the enamel and oxidize the underlying copper framework.
