Description from the seller
Japanese Shippo Enamel Brooches & Obi-dome – Collection / Lot
This lot consists of a beautiful collection of traditional Japanese Shippo (cloisonné enamel) jewellery, including brooches and obi-dome (kimono belt ornaments).
Each piece is crafted using the Shippo enamel technique, in which finely colored glass enamel is fired onto a metal base, creating vivid colors, depth, and a smooth glossy surface.
The word “Shippo” means “Seven Treasures” in Japanese, symbolizing harmony, beauty, and refinement.
The designs feature elegant floral and abstract motifs, showcasing the craftsmanship typical of mid to late Showa period (20th century) Japanese enamel work.
Several pieces are housed in their original wooden presentation boxes, which enhances their collectible and cultural value.
These items can be worn as jewellery, used as obi-dome for kimono styling, or appreciated as small decorative art objects.
