In 50 years of collecting cloisonne, I have never seen anything like this. It appears to depict a troupe of Chinese circus performers or entertainers, maybe a parade of them. Jugglers, musicians, people on stilts, martial arts actors. In an unusual combination of colors – teal and light green and white. Made into a lamp. Green jade ball finial. We bought it from another antique dealer in the 80s. Base to finial, about 23″; cloisonne portion about 12″; about 6 diameter. Wiring is old and should be replaced before long (although we continue to risk wiring worse than this). Trying to send a shade in the same box is difficult, dangerous to the shade, and very expensive because of the bigger box. Neta has always liked antique lamps, and did well with them at the store.
