I've had this set in my possession for quite a long time - they were not new when I bought them at an antique store. They are very well done. The enameling is excellent - the cloisonne is smooth to the touch not like the closienne of today - lumpy and jagged - the ducks are politically correct with right and left facings also not like mass produced items today that only are one way. They are solid brass - not stamped India like so much brass of today. I have to assume that they are chinese but I can not date them..I have looked for them online over the years but never found anything like them. They are quite heavy - each piece weighing 1 pound each. I have made no attempt to clean them over the years as I never used them (hoarder of pretty things) rather they sat on a shelf. The "bowl" measures 4" across and sits 2.75' tall. Lovely set. Will ship via USPO with delivery tracking. |
