OH!

This is a very old Japanese cloisonne bowl, with a cloisonne (metal wire and enamel) mark on the base. These vary, this one is a symbol of good fortune, which is used in both China and Japan.

I collected cloisonne and owned several of these, about 1870 product, before they changed their process and improved the surface and quality of the enamels fired in a kiln.
