The surface of the objects is made of enamels but there is no wires to separate the different enamels in the design. They are known two ways to make wireless cloisonne. The first technique uses the application of enamel to the body directly, more like making oil paintings. The second one applies the wire while the enamel is being painted but removes the wire prior to firing. The second one is one of the most demanding cloisonne making techniques . The Ando Company is one of the most famous for producing exceptional pieces of wireless cloisonne&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://wsimag.com/fashion/4457-shippo-cloisonne-radiance-of-japan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://wsimag.com/fashion/4457-shippo-cloisonne-radiance-of-japan" rel="nofollow">http://wsimag.com/fashion/4457-shippo-cloisonne-radiance-of-japan</a></p><p><br /></p><p>...&quot; AR: Saori explains the basic technique she employs for her Shippo craft. There are five fundamental types of Shippo techniques. Yusen-shippo originates from China, and consists of compartments created with wire coated in enamel. The enamel commonly rises above the wires, called “raised cloisonné” or “Moriage-shippo.” Musen-shippo is wireless cloisonné. It either applies enamel to the body or applies the wire while the enamel is being painted, then removing the wire before firing the object. Dei-shippo is used for opaque, matte enamels, which were common in the past before bright enamels were introduced. These pieces were made with a synthetic glaze. Totai-shippo cuts parts of an object’s body, which are then, filled with semi-translucent or translucent enamel—a technique resembling stained glass. Shotai-Shippo uses translucent enamels applied through Yusen-shippo, but dipped in a tub of nitric acid. The metal dissolves and leaves only the metal wires and the enamels....&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
