Well spotted and remembered Greg!
I can't say I remember reading that, and I did not know there were other "Cloissonne" lookalikes.
I knew of the combed bits with mica and the celophane stuff.
And your comment about excessive shininess rings absolutely true to me. Cloissonne normally has a dull iridesence.
But it's a good Monarty shape.
I'm confused.
