Subject:Re: Chinese amphora vase with gilt enamel decoration and gilt bronze mounts

Although the metal fittings reflect Asian themes, I believe this piece to be of European origins.
During the late 19th c., it was quite a common practice to emulate Japanese/Chinese motifs and glazes.
The gold enamel flower has a very Art Nouveau flare, and the flambe like glaze seems to have a slight iridescence to it, so without the benefit of seeing the base and foot rim of the amphora, my guess is from the late 19th c.
