CLOISONNE, Three Piece Set of Table Ware, Shakers and Lidded Pot

Antiques : By Period, Style : Chinese Cloisonne 19th Century

 

From my Mother's collection! She used these three lovely pieces on her table and put salt and pepper in two of them and some hot spice of some sort in the other. I have misplaced the little spoon somewhere along the line.

They are all very nicely done and feature a dragon design in blue on a white ground. All of them are on brass, some a little "shinny-er" than others.

The tallest piece measures about 2.5", the next is about 2.25" and the little lidded box is 1.50". The lid on the box is hinged and has a "slot" for the spoon. It is enameled in blue on the inside as are the other two. The largest piece is brass on the bottom and the shorter shaker and the box have cloisonne work on the bottom.

I don't know their age but I do remember my Mother having them about mid-century...last century...not the one before, I'm not that old, but getting there!

I have looked them over carefully and they are in wonderful condition, no chips, dents or missing enamel. They are just TOO sweet~
