I am not sure if this plate is considered cloisonne and what country it is from. There are no marks and I would appreciate any information about the age. Thanks!

It is recognizably cloisonne because of the wires, and Japanese in style of enamel and motifs. The egret in the lotus pond is also a favorite Chinese theme.

The enamel seems to be what the Japanese call doro shippo, low-fired enamels in old-fashioned somber matte opaque colors.
The quality of the enamel seems smoother and more uniform than old pieces from the 1830- 1870s, so perhaps it is some decades more recent than that.
It's an appealing piece, I think, and would display well in an appropriate holder.

Thank you for the information! I really appreciate it!!!
