Cloisonne???

Description

Hi ive been unable to confirm what i purchased the other day for $40.00 usd., at my local recycling center, They price the piece by the weight of it.Ive seen simalar pieces on ebay but seems people are calling it dif.names.,that is the reason im contacting you.This item is 15lbs, I seen an item on 1st dibs that has the same hand painted scene it to has no makers marks just as mine does not.They have a price tag of a $5,000 but if you buy now theyll knock off $2,000 usd.im wondering if my $40.00 dollar purchase could be worth this unbelievable amount of money an what it truly is. Thank You Don Burton

It is definitely NOT cloisonne, which can be distinguished by small wire-like separations between elements of the decoration. Like a wire outline that is filled with enamel, usually brass. The decorations look Italian. I saw many similar images when I visited Florence last summer. Cool looking piece. I wouldn't trust a site willing to knock off nearly half the price right if the bat. Good luck!

Looks to be a reproduction of European Porcelain, without a physical examination of it it's hard to verify. Most of the repro's were made in China in the 1980's and 90's. Decorative value only.
