[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 1634218, member: 201"]Gee, that does seem very similar! Is it a peony or a chrysanthemum? I was searching for the latter so that may have affected my search results. The dragon would look odd if the 1stdibs piece were a top flipped vertically, so maybe they're right about it being a bowl. One thing that gives me pause, though, is this piece on the idcloisonne.com site, identified as Chinese c1920 and later. The wires in the background have the same type of geometric design that mine does and the flowers seem at least somewhat similar. Did Chinese pieces have geometric designs in the mid-1800s? Or is it more of an Art Deco thing produced for Western tastes in the 1920s-30s? This curious mind would love to know!
