I am selling this super cool cloisonné ginger jar, I think that is what they call it anyway. It is like an adorable little vase that is short and wide with a matching top or lid. It is marked with made in China on the bottom and it is really gorgeous. It is 3 1/4 inches tall and 2 3/4 inches wide.

I have been holding onto this because I like it so much. But times are tough and so I am letting go of some of the things I've been holding onto (fingers crossed and hoping) that I can raise some very much needed money for my financial hardship right now. It looks as good as new and it appears to be on perfect condition. It's gorgeous and I hope it finds a good home or there. Feel free to make an offer on it as well.

I got this at an estate sale, and the nature of estate sales are such that you often never really know the source of the items that you are buying, you have to do a lot of guessing as to the age. So I am not sure how old this is or what exactly it is worth but I do know that it is really pretty and in really good condition.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for looking at my listing.

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French[1]) to the metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln.

The technique was in ancient times mostly used for jewellery and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects decorated with geometric or schematic designs, with thick cloison walls. In the Byzantine Empire techniques using thinner wires were developed to allow more pictorial images to be produced, mostly used for religious images and jewellery, and by then always using enamel. By the 14th century this enamel technique had spread to China, where it was soon used for much larger vessels such as bowls and vases; the technique remains common in China to the present day, and cloisonné enamel objects using Chinese-derived styles were produced in the West from the 18th century.
