FAQs

Meiji period Japanese cloisonne refers to enamel decorative items produced between 1868 and 1912, a golden age of Japanese enamelling. Artisans perfected techniques using fine metal wires, silver foil substrates, and translucent glass enamels to create detailed painterly designs on metal bodies.

Cloisonne vases are typically crafted on a copper or brass substrate. Intricate designs are outlined using delicate silver or brass wires, filled with coloured vitreous glass paste, fired in a kiln, and repeatedly ground and polished until smooth.

Authentic pieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries display exceptional precision in the wirework, smooth polished surfaces with minimal pitting, and detailed motifs such as flora or birds. Techniques like ginbari (silver foil underneath) or akasuke (pigeon blood red enamel) are key indicators of this era.

These vases function as strong focal points on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or entry console. Their deep ruby tone and intricate botanical motifs complement dark wood surfaces, brass accents, and minimalist background tones.

Clean the surface gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. Avoid water immersion, steam, chemical cleaners, or abrasive polishes, as moisture can damage delicate wire joints and exposed metal rims.
