Dong 東 "east". Donghexing (T'ung Ho Hsing?) is apparently the name of the Beijing company that made this, and not as a subcontractor (自造)

It's certainly a bit awkward to be interested in Chinese 20th century cloisonne and yet be illiterate in Chinese. I don't see any way to remedy this except by years of study...

It's hard to become an expert in anything without a lot of study though...

Subject:A pre-1928 date?
Posted By: beadiste Thu, May 21, 2015
Bei Jing Che He Xing Zi Zao Lang Pen

Lang appears to be written in an old-fashioned style, and because "Bei Jing" is used instead of "Peiping," perhaps this piece dates either to before 1928 (when the capital was moved to Nanjing), instead of post-1949?

Che Hexing is a name?
