Product Description
SPECTACULAR 1930's HUGE ENAMELED ORCHID or IRIS BROOCH
UNSIGNED REJA or SANDOR
Gorgeous vintage enameled orchid or iris pin dating to the 1930's -40's era. Rescued from a "craft" bin I had to get it before it was totally ruined! So, it has been restored to its original beauty following the colors that were still intact.
I am professional porcelain artist, my work was featured in art galleries in the southwest and published in porcelain magazines as well as other publications. I also taught seminars around the country and sold a lot of pieces until vintage jewelry and designing jewelry captured my interest. This bit of history is just for my buyers to be confident that the piece is professionally restored
For many years I bought the early enameled pieces including ones which had lost most or all enamel as I wanted to restore them. Much easier than China painting to be sure, lol! I had sold most of them over the past 10 years, especially the ones I repainted
Condition details
This is a partial restoration in that the colors were still on it but quite a bit had been damaged and flaked off. I believe this is either an unsigned Reja, or possibly a Reinad piece. It is a huge brooch, 3 dimensional with beautiful design and color. If you are hesitant about buying restored vintage jewelry please read my guide on the subject. A truly a magnificent brooch and a wonderful example of art deco era enameled jewelry
