Brand Story
Cloisonné, scientifically known as copper-body filigree enamel, originated in the Yuan Dynasty and flourished during the Ming Dynasty's Jingtai period (1450-1457), named for its predominant blue glaze. It reached its zenith during the Qianlong era (1736-1795) of the Qing Dynasty, becoming a treasured imperial artifact. As a successor to Beijing's cloisonné tradition, Jingfa's craftsmanship traces back to the Imperial Workshop of the Qing court, later carried forward by folk artisans. In the early 20th century, numerous cloisonné workshops emerged in Beijing, and Jingfa consolidated these resources to revive and promote the traditional craft. The name 'Jing' represents Beijing, while 'Fa' refers to enamel, reflecting its regional identity and artistic essence. Jingfa not only embodies the imperial aesthetics of the Ming and Qing dynasties but also incorporates modern design, serving as a cultural bridge connecting ancient and contemporary times.

Cultural Note
The art of cloisonné involves a complex process of 108 steps, including design, body-making, wire-inlaying, enamel-filling, firing, polishing, and gilding, all executed by hand. Its artistic value lies in the fusion of copper and fire, where enamel melts at high temperatures to produce a gem-like luster. Jingfa adheres to traditional techniques while embracing modern aesthetics, ensuring the continuity of this imperial craft.
