FAQs

Japanese cloisonne enamel, known as shippo-yaki, experienced a golden age during the Meiji period between 1868 and 1912. Craftspeople refined techniques using fine metal wires applied to a copper or brass base to create intricate compartments filled with coloured enamel pastes before firing and polishing.

Traditional cloisonne chargers were constructed using a base metal, typically copper or brass, onto which thin wire ribbons were attached. These wires formed cells that were filled with vitreous enamel paste composed of ground glass and mineral metallic oxides.

Authentic Meiji-era pieces feature delicate wirework, precise colour separation, and a smooth, highly polished surface with minimal pitting. The underside often displays counter-enamel or exposed patinated metal showing natural signs of age.

A cloisonne charger can be displayed on a plate stand on a sideboard, mounted on a feature wall, or integrated into a gallery wall display. The rich colours and detailed metalwork complement dark wood furniture and eclectic interior schemes.

Clean cloisonne enamel gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasives, or water immersion. Display the item away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature changes, and high humidity to prevent oxidisation of the copper base.
