<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3675606, member: 18716&quot;]Post war Chinese cloisonne was mostly made for export/tourist ware so there isn&#039;t generally a purpose to it other than being decorative and functional from their form.&nbsp; You are correct the one which says &#039;China&#039; is older, probably 1930-60&#039;s, you sometimes find them with &#039;China&#039; misspelled as the workers couldn&#039;t read or write English and copied from a picture.&nbsp; The other is recent, indeed you can still buy this type of item today on the online Chinese trade sites, they also sell this kind of item around the Forbidden Palace as tourist ware - often found on ebay listed as antique of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
