Square, slightly concave cloisonne enamel plate with brass rim; underside covered in solid dark green enamel, with a slightly raised square foot of brass. Upper side has design of a bunch of morning glory flowers near one side, in light red, red, light green, blue and yellow, with green leaves and brass wire tendrils. There are also 2 small butterflies, one red and one yellow, all on light blue background through which are scattered wire outlines of marquise forms. Contiguous wire circles on black stripe inside rim.
The technique of making cloisonne enamel was first introduced to China in the 14th century or perhaps earlier, having evolved in Europe and the Middle East. This piece is probably of the late 19th century to early 20th century manufacture, made for export or for sale to Europeans.
