Can anyone please tell me what this slip says?

Does the 49 11 1 part represent a date?

The People's Republic was founded 10/1/1949.

And many Nationalists, of course, fled to Taiwan in 1949.

According to Wikipedia, 594 is the Chinese telephone prefix for Putian in Fujian.

So it's nice to have some evidence verifying that provenance.
Not to be ungrateful, but is there anything that might be the manufacturer's name? Is that upper line indeed a date, such as "Quality Cloisonne Since November 1, 1949" ;^)

I never paid much attention in the news to the islands near China's coast that are claimed by Taiwan, but the Wikipedia article on Kinmen (formerly Quemoy) had this interesting little tidbit:

Many Taiwanese businesspeople use the link through Kinmen to enter the Chinese mainland, seeing it as cheaper and easier than entering through Hong Kong. However, this changed following the 2005 Pan-Blue visits to mainland China and the presidential and legislative victories of the KMT, that allowed easier Cross-Strait relations. Kinmen has experienced a considerable economic boom as businesspeople relocate to the island for easier access to the vast markets of the PRC.
