    Went shopping at a monthly puce this morning and came back with this flat enamelled cloisonne vase, which provides no clue to its origin or age. Help please:

    The closest I have found is the vase on Ebay that claims to be of Indian origin:

    I would have said India as well......kind of sloppy 1970/1980s?

    Agree Indian, I have seen similar items more recently in the UK, so I doubt they are more than 20 years old. Also they aren't technically cloisonne, they are enamel painted on metal, different process.

    Not cloisonné, nor any kind of fired vitreous enamel - modern Indian brass painted with some sort of cold enamel...

    Well, I 'recon it's Indian, cold setting enamel on brass, and very late 20th century. My thanks to all of you.
