This pair of 19th-century Japanese Meiji ginger jars with lids comes in a bulbous shape featuring domed lids, flat bases, and wirework cloisons. Formed from copper, brass, and polychrome enamel, they display a vibrant turquoise blue ground decorated with intricate floral and bird motifs, including blossoms and flying birds. The glazed surfaces show detailed metal wire outlines separating coloured enamel fields. Each jar measures 16 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. Suitable for display in a modern living space, these jars sit effectively upon a sideboard top or a decorative mantlepiece. They bring traditional Asian craftsmanship into domestic interiors, adding colour and pattern to a surface without requiring additional arrangement. The vessels function as decorative display pieces or lidded containers for small household items.

FAQs

Japanese cloisonne, known as shippo-yaki, is a decorative technique where metal wires are applied to a vessels body to form intricate patterns, which are then filled with coloured vitreous enamels and fired.

These jars are typically constructed with a copper or brass base, fine copper or silver wires, and glass-based vitreous enamel pastes coloured with metallic oxides.

Authentic historic pieces feature fine hand-bent wires, subtle surface variations, polished cast brass or bronze rims, and opaque or translucent vitreous enamels without modern synthetic resin filler.

Pairing these brightly coloured decorative jars on a console table, mantelpiece, or bookshelf adds texture, pattern, and rich colour contrast to contemporary and traditional living spaces.

Dust the surface gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, or immersion in water, as moisture can corrode the underlying metal matrix.
