FAQs

Japanese cloisonne, known as shippo, is a traditional metalworking technique where glass enamel is applied within wire compartments on a metal base, reaching its artistic peak during the Meiji and early Taisho periods.

These items are traditionally constructed from a brass or copper base, featuring fine metal wires soldered to the surface to form cells, which are then filled with coloured glass pastes and fired multiple times.

Authentic pieces often display meticulous wirework, subtle pitting or imperfections in the glass enamel from early firing methods, and a heavy, well-crafted metal chassis without modern synthetic resins.

This piece can be displayed on a surface such as a mantelpiece or side table to introduce intricate patterns, vibrant colour accents, and traditional craftsmanship to a modern space.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, cleaning only with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and avoiding abrasive polishes or liquid immersions.
