FAQs

Cloisonne is an decorative metalworking technique where thin metallic wires are soldered onto a metal base to form intricate compartments, which are then filled with enamel paste, fired, and polished flat.

Traditional cloisonne objects feature a copper or brass body, fine metal wires forming the cloisons, and glass-based coloured enamel pastes, often finished with gilt brass rims.

Authentic pieces from circa 1900 typically feature hand-applied wirework, minute pinhole firing imperfections in the enamel surface, substantial weight, and patinated brass edges.

Display the vase as an accent piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or console table against neutral backdrops to draw focus to its colour contrast and detailed pattern work.

Dust the surface lightly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquids and abrasive chemical cleaners, and store in a stable climate away from excess moisture to prevent tarnish on exposed metal edges.
