This little green vase is so beautiful. It only measures about 4 1/2" by about 4 1/2". The detail is vibrant and it feels beautiful if you can understand that. I know absolutely nothing about it. The bottom has a mark from what I can read is:CLOISONNE It has a date: 1981. Hand decorated. San Franscisco and Takahashi. I think that is what the bottom has on it. It is so beautiful and would love to learn anything about this vase and what it would be used for. I don't know if its a bud vase or something else. Thank you.

It is not "cloisonne" but porcelain made to look like cloisonne. Very attractive though.
