[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8569088, member: 2844"]Not only that, but they also added black 'enamel' to make it look like rare famille noir porcelain, which is done occasionally. You can see that the black is matte and crudely applied, covering parts of the leaves. The original enamels on the flowers are much more delicate and very pretty, and I am sure it started out as a lovely jar. So I'd say, probably mid 20th century, and made to look like rare famille noir as well as 'antiqued' with dirt a few decades later.[/QUOTE]
