Owari Shippo Cloisonne
History
It is said that during the Tenpo era (1830-1844), Tsunekichi Kaji of Owari Province discovered the manufacturing method using cloisonné plates imported by a Dutch ship and made improvements.
Features
Generally speaking, pottery is made by molding clay and firing it like ceramics, but cloisonné ware uses a metal base of copper or silver and a glassy glaze is applied to the surface to create images of flowers, birds, the wind, the moon, landscapes, etc. It is characterized by the design. Wired cloisonné, in which silver wire is applied to the outline of the design, is a representative technique of Owari cloisonné.
Manufacturing process
A metal base in the shape of a vase, plate, etc. is made using a copper (silver) plate, and a rough sketch is drawn on it with ink. In the case of wired cloisonné, a silver ribbon wire (silver wire) is placed along the sketch with special glue and planted (planting line), then a glassy pongee is applied and fired. Firing is repeated 4 to 8 times. After that, it is polished and decorated and completed.
