This Edwardian cloisonne jar and cover dates from the Meiji period around 1890. The spherical vessel comprises a dark navy copper body finished in vitreous enamel, standing upon three small bronze tripod feet. The surface displays maximalist Japanese decoration featuring prominent pink hibiscus motifs surrounded by detailed green foliage, along with subtle butterfly motifs and small white flowering branches across the dark ground. A matching lidded top completes the form, topped with a textured filigree finial in bronze. Measuring 14 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 14 cm deep, this compact decorative jar suits placement on a mantelpiece or shelf within a living space as an accent piece or tabletop display item. The piece brings rich colour and traditional floral craftsmanship into an interior setting without requiring additional structural support or hardware.

FAQs

Japanese Meiji period cloisonne refers to enamel metalwork produced between 1868 and 1912, a golden age when artisans perfected intricate wirework techniques and smooth, glass-like enamel finishes on decorative vessels.

Craftsmen attached delicate metal wires, known as cloisons, onto a copper or bronze base to outline intricate designs. These compartments were filled with coloured vitreous enamel pastes, fired multiple times, and polished to a smooth finish.

Authentic pieces typically feature exceptionally thin copper or silver wiring, precise enamel application without air bubbles, realistic floral or animal motifs, and dark or mirror-like background enamels.

Small enamel jars and pots work as accent pieces on bookshelves, mantels, or sideboards, contrasting well with polished wood, stone surfaces, or minimal contemporary backdrops.

Dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and avoid moisture, chemical cleaners, or harsh abrasives which can damage the delicate metal wires or pit the enamel surface.
