FUNDING LINK & INFORMATION:

This internet website's goal is to provide interesting and useful information about Oriental cloisonne for free. It's not a commercial venture per say, you will not see any current or future attempts at advertisements or marketing of any kind. Since August 2010 I have initiated an evaluation service, with sponsorship options.

If you NEED a $6.50 personal evaluation for ONE cloisonne item, please use the Paypal "Item Evaluation" selection, A PAYPAL ACCOUNT IS NECESSARY to do this. I will receive a copy of your payment from Paypal. Send me a detailed query by email at contactlisa@idcloisonne.com, please include SIZE and CONDITION of your piece/s with your images, this is very important for proper evaluation. If there are more than three items that you need my help with. Contact me, I do discount the cost for multiple pieces. The more you have the less it costs.

If you need a $6.50 evaluation for any other type of vintage or decorative piece, please use the "Item Investigation" selection, and proceed as above.

In return for your fee, you will obtain a descriptive (50 words or more), reliable and honest valuation from me within three days allowing for time zone delays. Paypal is the best choice for all international payments. I'm sorry but I don't accept personal cheques or money orders, they are not worth the cost and our efforts for the small $6.50 fee. If you have a problem with using this software, please let me know.

thank you so much,

lisa

"Thank you very much Lisa for the detailed evaluation! I did check with some of my Chinese friends in the field, and your conclusion is consistent with theirs! And your evidence is even more detailed than theirs! I guess it is because it was made for export market. Y."
