<p>[QUOTE=&quot;matan, post: 13180942, member: 121498&quot;]Hello everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently bought this vintage brooch at a secondhand shop in Japan, and I’m trying to identify the maker behind the mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>The brooch has a distinctive flower-and-stem mark on the back. I have also found other vintage brooches in Japan with what appears to be the exact same flower-and-stem mark, but none of them has a brand name or any other obvious maker’s mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked someone knowledgeable about vintage jewelry, and their best guess was Florenza. However, I have not been able to confirm that this particular flower-and-stem mark was actually used by Florenza, so I’m still unsure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone recognize this mark?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would especially like to know:</p><p><br /></p><p>●Who used this flower-and-stem mark?</p><p><br /></p><p>●Is it a Florenza mark?</p><p><br /></p><p>●Is it another jewelry maker or manufacturer?</p><p><br /></p><p>●Does anyone have a reference showing this exact mark being used?</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that I have found several different vintage brooches with the same mark makes me think it may be a maker’s mark rather than a random decorative symbol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your help!</p><p><br /></p><p>Best regards,Taeka</p><p>[ATTACH=full]560772[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]560773[/ATTACH] <img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_5695-jpeg.560774/?temp_hash=fdf9e4e45ece9565b2ee8b2f75ba9dd9" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]560775[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
