I recently purchased on enamel on metal and one cloisonne box. They are both stamped "CHINA" so I would assume they are late 19th/early 20th Century. Does anyone have any other information. The are quite nice looking and the round container has a tripart removable insert.

They date approximately 1891–1921.
Stamped only “CHINA". because the McKinley Tariff Act required that the country of origin be indicated in English on all products imported into the United States, this practice was widely adopted from the late Qing Dynasty through the early Republic of China period.

With regards,
I.Nagy
