FAQs

Cloisonne, known in Japan as shippo, is a decorative metalworking technique where thin metal wires are soldered onto a base to form compartments, which are then filled with coloured glass enamels and fired.

Japanese cloisonne pieces typically feature a copper or brass body, fine silver or brass wires forming the cloisons, and vitreous enamel paste made from ground glass mixed with metallic oxides.

Authentic pieces from the late Meiji and Taisho eras exhibit precise wirework, smooth polished enamel surfaces free of major pitting, intricate floral or geometric designs, and gilt or exposed metal rim mounts.

A cloisonne trinket box functions as an accent piece when displayed on a bedside table, dressing table, or integrated into a curated bookshelf arrangement alongside books and ceramics.

To preserve cloisonne enamel, clean gently with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid polish or harsh chemicals, and protect the item from extreme temperature fluctuations and physical impacts.
