I believe it is cloisenne. Any info on this item would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I would be happy to comment on your seals, but I cannot open the pictures. Are you using the correct format?

Thanks for reading my post. I don't know what happened to pics in the original post.

Hello Paul and Mike,

The cloisonne items shown don't appear to include a seal. The piece at the top of the photos looks like a tray for holding pens (or brushes in Japan or China). The handled item at lower left is a blotter, and the capped one at lower right, which is shaped like a pagoda roof, seems to be an inkwell.

In my estimation, this probably is a 20th century writing set of fairly recent vintage and possibly meant to appeal to Western markets.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Bill, I agree completely. Totally for Western market. Inkwell, blotter and pen tray.

No seal.

Looks a bit like tourist-trade stuff from the images, but perhaps someone who collects seals and reads zhuanshu script better than I do will have other ideas.
Good luck,
Bill H.
