FAQs

Cloisonne is an ancient metalwork technique where enamel is applied to compartments created by soldering silver or bronze wires onto a metal base. The practice flourished in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, producing highly intricate decorative vessels.

Authentic pieces typically feature a bronze or brass body with soldered wire outlines forming cells, known as cloisons. These cells are filled with vitreous enamel paste, fired at high temperatures, and subsequently polished to a smooth finish.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-beaten metal bases, irregular wirework under magnification, and signs of age such as micro-pitting in the enamel and patination on the exposed bronze rims and base.

Display the vessel as a standalone sculptural object on a dark wood console table or open shelving to highlight its vibrant colour palette and metallic lustre against minimalist backdrops.

Maintain the piece by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and chemical cleaners to protect the fragile vitreous enamel and the aged metallic finish.
