<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eils14, post: 9741858, member: 14776&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up this stunning enamel brooch at the weekend at a vintage fair. I love enamel and as soon as I saw it, I had to have it, as it reminded me of the glow you get on the lovely Renaissance enamel pieces in museums. </p><p><br /></p><p>On getting home and looking at it, my online searches on the enamel came up with Victorian Limoges pieces, so my question is, have I found one of these? I note the ones online are all set in precious metal, however I have not found any marks on this piece, so I do wonder what the metal is made from. I also wonder if the rollover clasp is a replacement, as I can see some solder under it and I have another brooch which has the same clasp which I also believe is probably a replacement!</p><p><br /></p><p>And one final question, do you think we can identify who this is meant to be? Could it be a classical figure?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, just noting the enamel is raised in part i.e. the blue bead from her head piece. The head piece is metallic looking too. </p><p><br /></p><p>TIA for any help, and I am super happy to have this in my collection!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]476658[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]476664[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
