I found this lotus bowl today. It's about 5 inches wide and in great condition. I think that this is what is referred to as champlevé, but i'm not positive. It's definitely enamel and heavier than it looks like. I think that this is Chinese, although not marked.
Beautiful lotus bowl
Champlevé means “raised field.” Champlevé is an enamel process where the surface to be enameled is carved, engraved, stamped or etched with a design prior to enameling. The powdered enamel is fired into the design highlighting it.?
So what kind of enamel would this be?
i guess it's another kind of Canton enamel.
