I don't know much about asian antiques other than what pleases my eye, mikie.. and this one is BEAUTIFUL! Looks like it's a peony design, which I always think is quite lovely. And in the pictures it almost looks like it's cloisonné.
To use a colloquial phrase, and in my humble opinion, "you done good!"
Yes its deffinitely cloisonne, Chinese, probably first half of the 20th century. Its referred to as "clouds" because of the shape of the cloisons. Heres a great website to help you learn about identifying cloisonne:

The more that I look at it though, its probably later than the first half of the 20th. Maybe 60's 70's? I'm not an expert here though. Its certainly worth 15 dollars though, you could probably make a little pocket change too, if you decided to sell it
thank u Sean . Mikie
thank u china, for your comment. Will be posting more glass & pottery soon, we look forward to your opinions.
Thank you Stillwater, i (think) your second comment is probably correct. The lady we purchased these from led us to believe it wasnt an early piece, we just liked the design.
i have a matching cloisonne tumbler/cup i purchased new in japan in 1983. i really like it.
Thank you ho2cultcha, was 15.00$ Ok?
