Hey experts, hoping to get some guidance with this piece of cloisonne. I bought this as a gift for my mom in the early 80's. Well, as time has...
I am going to check out that site now. Crossing my fingers. Maybe I'll get lucky :)
Since it was found on a farm, dating back to the mid 19th century, with varying size cutouts, I'm putting a guess towards it being a type of jig...
TYVM @bercrystal So far I've learned quite a bit. The assistance of @Debora and @Northern Lights Lodge has been invaluable. I'm very impressed...
