FAQs

Meiji period cloisonne enamel refers to decorative Japanese metalwork produced roughly between 1868 and 1912. Craftsmen perfected techniques using delicate metal wires applied to copper or bronze bases, creating compartments filled with vitreous enamel pastes before firing and hand-polishing.

Traditional Japanese cloisonne chargers feature a base of copper or bronze overlaid with brass or silver wire cloisons. Coloured glass enamel pastes, coloured with mineral oxides, fill the compartments and are fused through repeated high-temperature firings.

Authentic Meiji pieces display thin wirework forming precise naturalistic or geometric patterns, complex colour shading, and smooth, pit-free polished surfaces. The reverse of the charger usually features a counter-enamel layer or unglazed copper base showing historic patination.

Cloisonne chargers can be displayed on brass or dark timber plate stands atop a sideboard or console table to highlight their detailed enamelwork. Alternatively, secure wall mounting enables them to serve as focal points within layered art displays or contemporary gallery walls.

Dust enamel pieces regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid water immersion, steam cleaning, or chemical solvents, as moisture can penetrate hairline fractures in the enamel or cause oxidisation of the exposed metal wires.
