From a collector, this cloisonné covered vessel was purchased in the 1970s. However, the true age is uncertain. Beautifully decorated with cloud like shapes on a black background throughout the base and the cover. Overlayed are chrysanthemums in violet, green, and blue. A single butterfly adorns the lid. Inside is a lustrous turquoise. The lid fits snugly, and can easily hide objects or fill with potpourri. And the wooden stand fits perfectly to the footed base. The vessel has a diameter of 10 inches There are no issues to the cloisonné. There is minor wear to the gold finish on the knob and some wear to the wooden base.
