Hi I pick this set up at a sale here and I am thinking it may be a marriage. The vase is about 5 1/2" tall. Thank You

Yes, Chinese cloisonne. Yellow is one of the harder colors to work with and the box probably isn't a 'marriage', as much as a boxed example of the use of two types of procedures for making that style of cloisonne. The dish has what it termed 'counter enameling' on the exterior (bottom) to prevent damage to the interior design during firing, where the vase doesn't need it because of shape. The floral design if relative common on the older pieces - probably early to mid 20th century. Yes, it is commercial, tourist, decorator category.
