Subject:childs tea set
Posted By: Patrick Norton Sun, Mar 15, 2009 IP: 99.184.49.199

I got this at auction in a lot box. All kinds of good stuff in the box for a couple dollars. That is why I like auctions because I can always sell everything I do not want at a garage sale and get what I wanted for free. Besides it gives me something to do on weekends. Not sure how you date cloisonee pieces but I like the art. This childs tea set with birds and flowers seems like a hard piece to make. Any cloisonee experts here? I have several vases with this blue inside and on the bottom, will this style give a date or factory?

these look newish to me by which I mean post 1950 - how far past I am hot certain without closer examination. Please do not take my opinion as definitive by any means.

Probably 1980s, later. No way to tell factory.

Cloissonn� not suitable for tea. Hot liquids will destroy eventually. Might be coated with clear resin-type finish, enamels probably have lead.

Good luck,
Cal
