Any comments or opinions about it would be appreciated,it is quiet heavy,looks to have gold plating on the copper wires which I feel is unusual.
Size is 9.5x4.5cms

Hi Ag
Good Answer,not much info,
I have been reading about cloissonne work,
And it seems for many years even the experts
Are a bit confused as to by whom and when many objects were.
Unless signed, not all signed pieces are origial either.
It may be good if mine is Chinese and not Japanese(depends of date of manufacture of coarse)
Lot 437 -9th November Christies London
(admin edit - see Posting Requirements )
The Chinese have been making Cloissonne for many hundred years.
So it is probably not a bad thing if it was made there.
Although I still think mine is Japanese,
Maybe around 1880.
Regards Guido.
