CHINA EXPORT ENAMELWARE TEA CADDY c. 1800-1880
<P>Pristine condition. Original top intact. Vivid color. Beautiful
enamelwork. This is truly a gem!<P>Enamelware technique is
different from cloisonne, where copper wire is placed on the
brass surface, and then enamel paint is applied to the design
formed by the wire. The wire keeps the enamel from running
into other colors.<P> This piece, and others I will be listing, has
no such wire, and depends on the skill of the artisan to keep the
paints from running together. <P>Cloisonne has long been
popular. Chinese enamelware is as yet relatively undiscovered and prices
are still affordable. Don't miss this opportunity to start or add
to a beautiful, and distinctive collection of China Export
enamelware.
