Dear Cathy,
 
      I agree with Giovanni - it is made in the last 20 years. And there is no need for 2 stoppers if it has only one internal cavity.
Look at #77 in my 1987 catalogue to see a genuine late 18th/ early 19th C. cloisonne example. Genuine bottles are VERY simple in design, and the colours are quite dark and 'muddy' in tone.
Not much to study. Seen one, you've basically seen 'em all. That's why no major educated collectors tend to have more than 2 or 3. Whereas, in Nephrite Jades, one can buy lots and want more. At least I do.  Grin Wink Roll Eyes
Best,
Happy New Year,
Joey
