Not quite what you wanted Sacha but worth looking at.

Very similar to which I'm looking for, though the prices make me feel
a bit faint. In fact, the miniature orchid with the single stem in the
gold vase is very like it indeed but not enamelled, I think.

Here are 2 pics which give an idea of form, colour, size etc.

That's a lovely ornament, Sacha. I've been looking for a while, but the
nearest thing I've seen is in the link below. It's porcelain, rather
than enamelled silver, and it's rather expensive. Even if the price is
right, I don't know how easy it would be to obtain one.

I've tried googling under 'cloisonne' and all sorts, but there's nothing
quite like yours.



Aaarrrgghh! Sorry, Sacha, just noticed that it's out of stock:-((. How
annoying.
