Hi can any one give any information on both my cloisonne items, as to age are they modern, I would also like to know what the three legged pot would be used for????
thanks a lot

This one could be first third 20th century, an incense burner.

Good luck,
Cal

Hi Sheila, this is a late 19th early 20th Meiji Japanese camphalave censer. you can get this sort of stuff as vases, animals and candle sticks
It tries to replicate the chinese cloisonne censer and was exported as curios to the West in the past. Very common item in Western country. you can buy them from a curio shop for 20 dollars or so.

As a note, it is not cloisonne but champleve.

Cheers,
Stan
