Very Rare Pair of  Early Chinese (Qing Dynasty) Cloisonne Water Jugs (Water Vessels) decorated with Phoenix Birds, Clouds, and Floral Motif with revolving the outside of the vessel.  

These handled vessels are very rare, you don't often see them done in Cloisonné, typically they are done in porcelain. 

This was made in China during the Qing Dynasty (1644 to 1912) 

These are not Japanese, and I will explain why. The Ruyi upper border under the rim and the composition of the Phoenix Bird are done in a Chinese manner along with the lower cloud border. The bottom of the Vessels are done in the same manner as the old Qing Dynasty pieces, and lastly, The form of the vessels were done in a commonly made Chinese Water Jug Form, which is usually done in porcelain as i stated previously.

Listing is for the pair of vessels (you get both).

Boldly enameled Phoenix Birds around Floral Elements revolving around the vessel
