ADDITIONAL NOTES: While in remarkable condition, we attribute various aspects of this design to the Ming Dynasty. Please see examples 1-2 below:

 

*Note: While various arguments can be made to the contrary, designs and coloration more often found in 18th century cloisonne enamel feature a distinctive decoration and a lighter hue of coloration, not featured on this lot. This object also features a beautifully orchestrated design of Chrysanthemums underside, more in line with similar decoration found in works associated to the Ming Dynasty.  As such, this lot is either an 18th century copy in homage of the cloisonne works of the Ming period, or a genuine piece from the Ming period. As such we have designated this piece to be 18th century or before.
