<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3746919, member: 8363"]So the seller was wrong on the example I gave. This is very exciting to have something that I've never heard of. Wikipedia mentions the following "Chinese <i>cloisonné</i> is sometimes confused with Canton enamel, a type of painted enamel on copper that is more closely related to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overglaze_enamel" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overglaze_enamel" rel="nofollow">overglaze enamels</a> on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_porcelain" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_porcelain" rel="nofollow">Chinese porcelain</a>, or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamelled_glass" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamelled_glass" rel="nofollow">enamelled glass</a>. This is painted on freehand and so does not use partitions to hold the colours separate." I thought these looked like transfers, not hand drawn.</p><p>No wonder my search comes up with nothing new when searching for Canton enamel bulb pot. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge - though you consider it pitiful.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
