George,

Thanks for linking Tom's post.  I read it before I shared this bottle with the Forum, and it was this post that made me think it might be champleve.  The foreground is definitely stipled but not filled.  I also read Giovanni's comment from another post showing the three pics of Cloisonne progression, thinking it was the second stage, but there is no soldering on this bottle that I can tell, so it's ruled out. 
I never heard the term repousse before. (Actually, I think I may have during Ward Bissel's
Art History Lecture at the University of Michigan, but it was an 8am class, so I probably forgot!)

Cheers,

Rube.
