Subject:Cloisonne Tray signed on bottom
Posted By: Brett Sat, Apr 29, 2023 IP: 185.192.16.21 This is perhaps the best quality cloisonne item I have purchased over the years. It's almost like a painting with detailed wirework and color blending. Any ideas on which country? Estimate on age? |

Posted By: Robert Mon, May 01, 2023 The mark is Chinese. It looks like Canton enameling (painted enamel on a metal body), rather than cloisonne enamel. Are you sure it has wired cloisons and not just black enamel outlining? |

Posted By: Brett Mon, May 01, 2023 I realize now that this is not cloisonne, but rather Canton enamel. Am I correct that this is a Qianlong mark, but likely late 19th century or early 20c. It's still very nice quality though |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, May 01, 2023 The tray appears to me to be hand-painted in Canton Enamels and not cloisonné. The brushwork and overall quality is first class. Its base mark is apocryphal Qianlong. I don’t have an appreciable amount of such enamel work in my own collection but would speculate this one might be Guangxu period or a bit earlier. Hope we hear from better qualified commentators. |
