Dear Forum
I just purchased my first cloisonne and was hoping some of you could share your views.
I notice that this wine ewer has red as a base color, while I think the base color of cloisonnes is more commonly blue. Does the odd red color make it "less valuable"?
Also, the ewer shows an animal with a dragon head and a cow body. I have never seen this combination before and am not sure what it symbolizes.
Many thanks for your help.
