Description

Techniques Used

“Muddy” cloisonné

An opaque cloisonné that looks like matte mud.
Brass wire instead of silver wire is used to create partitions between the different colored enamel.

“Lost-base” plique-à-jour

“Lost-base” plique-à-jour (shōtai shippō) is prepared following the same steps as wired cloisonné, but at the end of the process the copper vessel is dissolved in acid, leaving behind only the enameled surface. The Japanese term shōtai means “omitted base.”
