    Sweet brooch. That hinge is usually seen on brooches from 1900 onward.

    Wlwhittier, it sure does. Still can't get the tarnish out of tight spots.

    Could be, difficult to say because the subject matter is popular in both countries. China exported a lot of jewellery at the time, but then again, a Japanese lady could have brought this with her to the US.
