"Round Plique-à-jour Enamel Box, China, 20th Century"
Round box in plique-à-jour enamel with flower and butterfly decoration, China, 20th century, in good condition. Plique-à-jour is an enameling technique similar to cloisonné but without a metal base in its final state, so that light can filter through the transparent or translucent enamel. The effect is that of a miniature stained-glass window.
