The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Japanese cloisonne enamel technique developed significantly during the Meiji period (18681912), when craftsmen used fine metal wires to form delicate compartments on copper or brass bases, which were subsequently filled with glass enamel paste, fired, and polished to a smooth finish.

Antique Japanese cloisonne pieces are typically constructed using a thin copper or brass base metal, fine brass or silver wires to define the design contours, and mineral-based enamel pastes for colouring.

Authentic pieces from this period demonstrate intricate wirework, subtle irregularities in hand-applied enamels, minute surface pitting from historic firing processes, and unenameled brass or bronze rims with age-appropriate oxidisation.

An antique cloisonne vessel works effectively as a decorative accent placed on a console table, sideboard, or coffee table, where its intricate patterns and deep tones contrast against neutral contemporary backdrops.

Preserve cloisonne enamel by dusting gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth, keeping it away from moisture and harsh chemical agents, and handling carefully to avoid chipping the vitreous surface.
