Hand-Painted Wild Roses Large Brooch~ Your old fashioned girl will treasure this exceptionally large and well-cared for example of American hand painted porcelain, which was popular for about 40 years from late Victorian era through the 1920s. And imagine how she will look wearing this belt brooch with a black silk sash to cinch her waist around her throat. The elongated oval porcelain is 2 3/4" tall and a bit less than 2" wide. On polychrome glazes of blended blues and faint yellows are three wild roses done in light and dark pinks with yellow & brown accents against foliage of several shades of green, with colors still bright and overglaze smooth and clean. The porcelain is prong set in a brass setting that still has some of it's gilding. Closes with an open C-clasp. Excellent condition. $65

Sterling Filigree Butterfly Brooch Circa 1950. A Victorian Revival piece, the sterling lacy twists and turns on this piece are fascinating. No markings, but tests as sterling. Well made and heavier for it's size than you might think. It is indeed a mystery; on the lower left side there is a square marking resembling a maker's mark; it looks like a man standing holding branch, and another figure opposite. On the back opposite is a blank place. I wish I had time too look up the mark, but the butterfly is really unusual and lovely, standing on it's own. The ruffled wingspan is 2 1/2" and the butterfly is 1 3/4" from top of antennae. The rolling safety clasp pin mechanism is soldered on with a curved V-bar. Very Good++ condition. $38 |

H. Pomerantz
Painted
Porcelain Scene Brooch with Filigree and Emerald Green Rhinestone Pastes
You can always count on high quality rhinestones in H. Pomerantz jewelry, and this large brooch is no exception; the high quality emerald green pastes seem to have the secret of eternal youth-- as dazzling as if they weren't 70 years old. The larger stones are unfoiled and prong set openback into the antique silver look beaded filigree dome shaped metal frame; the smaller chatons add small sparkles from tiny cups. The oval porcelain is prong set in a beaded setting. The scene is a transfer which is embellished with hand painted brown accents . At 3 1/4" tall and 2 3/8" wide the dome shaped brooch rises about 1/2" from the pinstem; it clasps with an early safety clasp that is quite secure. Signed in back H. Pomerantz Inc. N.Y. Very Good condition. Enjoy for $95

Quality Aurora Borealis AB Rhinestone Crescent Moon Pin Circa 1960. Give her the moon, a symbol of the great goddess, of her cool energy. The luminous prong set AB crystal stones--emerald (oblong) cuts, chatons and teardrops wink from their goldtone setting. This is a high quality layered piece, with a line of rhinestones set between and above the lower level of stones, so their lights can play off one another. The pin is of designer quality, having some Delizza and Elster characteristics, but is waiting for verification. The pin is about 1 7/8" from tip to tip, but because of the layers, crescent shape and sparkle, it seems bigger. Very Good condition, with moderate wear on finish in back. $38

Rare Weiss Painted Enamel Egg Brooch In years of buying costume jewelry, I have seen only one other enameled egg by Weiss; it was pink and it was already sold. This is a rare pin, probably made in the late 1960's, just before Weiss closed its doors. Weiss made a some highly collectible enameled pieces during those years, some of which are now being counterfeited; real ones, except for some of the enameled flower power pins, are all fairly hard to find. This one does have a textured back; but the texture is different from the kind found on the counterfeits. The basic color is red, crossed on the diagonal with gold tone lines, making diamond motifs in which white flowers with green foliage are enameled. This unique brooch measures 2 1/4" tall x 1 1/2 wide" and stands 3/4" high from the surface. There is a small amount of wear to the enamel that can be seen with a loupe but nothing substantial. Very Good condition. Signed (c)Weiss in an oval in back. $135 |
