FAQs

Cloisonne is a traditional metalwork technique where enamel is applied to compartments formed by soldered metal wires. It experienced a golden age in Japan during the Meiji period, when craftsmanship reached unprecedented levels of detail.

These vessels are typically constructed with a base body of copper or brass, decorated with flattened metal wires to create cells, which are then filled with coloured glass enamel pastes and fired.

Authentic pieces often feature fine brass or copper wirework, slight surface irregularities from hand-firing, a distinctive counter-enamel on the interior or base, and weight consistent with solid metal construction.

They work effectively as focal points on mantels, consoles, or sideboards, contrasting against clean architectural lines while adding rich texture, colour, and historical depth to a room.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, and excessive moisture, which can damage the delicate enamel and oxidise the exposed metal elements.
