Ando Cloisonné Flower Vase Cloisonné, derived from the "Seven Treasures" found in Buddhist scriptures, gave rise to "cloisonné ware," a type of art involving the implantation of silver wires on metal and the firing of glass enamel. Its name comes from the notion that these exquisite ceramics are as beautiful as the seven treasures themselves. During the late Momoyama and early Edo periods, with the rise of Japonism in Europe and America, Japanese cloisonné pieces garnered worldwide acclaim for their ingenuity and exquisite craftsmanship, establishing them as quintessential examples of Japanese artistry. The elaborate workmanship and coloring, including the fact that the covering is made of sterling silver, give cloisonné ware a beauty that is not found in modern cloisonné ware.
