Given that these Chinese cloisonne items show up in Japanese accessories, I have to wonder just what went on during the 1930s years of Japanese invasion of China.
Like the glass works in Boshan, did the Japanese also invest in cloisonne workshops?
Is there a Japanese influence in Chinese cloisonne designs from 1930-1950?
Everyone who knows anything about this is most likely now dead, but it is a mystery, I think. I wonder what the archives of theJapanese Ando and Inaba companies might reveal.
