What is Japanese cloisonné?
1 Answer

Japanese cloisonné is a method of enamel decoration where small, fine wires delineate the decorative areas where the enamel color is applied. The wires prevent paint from running during the firing and polishing process. You’ll find a selection of authenticated Japanese cloisonné wares on 1stDibs.
