This large Meiji period Japanese cloisonne enamel bowl from circa 1890 follows a traditional decorative style executed in copper, brass and enamel. The piece displays a vibrant turquoise blue ground patterned with intricate wirework cloisons, dark green enamel, red peony blossoms, and bird motifs across its surface. Additional details include a distinct flared rim, a recessed circular foot, and multi-coloured enamelled flora alongside geometric patterns. The bowl measures 11.5 cm high, 34.5 cm wide and 34.5 cm deep in practical terms. In a contemporary interior, this decorative bowl sits appropriately upon a sideboard top or display table to add a touch of maximalist wonderland design to a living room, dining area or hallway. The construction incorporates substantial brass wires both for surface decoration and for anchoring the enamel within the body. Inspection reveals a good circular shape with minor rim joining and enamel imperfections reflecting its period manufacturing techniques.

FAQs

Meiji period cloisonne enamelwork refers to Japanese decorative metal items produced between 1868 and 1912, characterized by copper or brass wire compartments filled with glass enamel pastes and fired at high temperatures.

Craftsmen solder thin metal strips onto a metal base to form design outlines, fill the resulting cells with coloured enamel pastes, fire the vessel in a kiln, and polish the surface smooth.

Authentic pieces exhibit fine wire detailing, precise enamel application without extensive pitting, traditional flora and fauna iconography, and natural age oxidisation on exposed metal rims or bases.

A cloisonne bowl functions as a focal centerpiece on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or coffee table, pairing well with neutral backdrops to accentuate its intricate polychrome details.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleansers or water immersion, which can damage cracked enamel or cause metal oxidisation beneath the surface.
