Details

Cloisonne has a tradition of hundreds of years in China. Began sometime in the year 1271. This art form can still be found, especially in and around the city of Beijing (Beijing). Very labor-intensive to make. Moreover, a lot can go wrong until the last moment. Beautifully decorated with different flowers and patterns. Gracefully carved wooden lid with a jade-like finish. Whether this served as an "incense burner" is not clear. The sign at the bottom may provide more clarity.
