YOURGIFTSTOP PRESENTS A GORGEOUS ANTIQUE BROOCH CREATED BY DELFT IN HOLLAND!!
THIS ANTIQUE BROOCH BY DELFT IS A LOVELY PIECE WITH EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CONDITION FOR THE AGE. 

THE FLORAL DESIGN IS HAND PAINTED, THE SILVER HAND WORKED, TWISTED SILVER DESIGN & BEZEL SET CASTING.  THE DELFT PORCELAIN IS BEAUTIFUL WITH THE HAND PAINTED BLUE FLOWER WHICH THEY ARE KNOW FOR AMONG THE WINDMILLS, SEA SCAPES AND BIRDS, HAND MADE.  THIS PIECE IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION CONSIDERING IT IS FROM THE 1880'S CIRCA DATE. 

ITEM : BROOCH
WEIGHT : 13.90 CTW
SIZE : 31 MM X 15 MM X 12 MM
SHAPE : OVAL
METAL : SILVER
STONE : PORCELAIN TILE - Delft porcelain
COLOR : PORCELAIN COLOR IS WHITE WITH BLUE HAND PAINTED FLOWERS
CONDITION : VERY GOOD
CIRCA : 1880'S
HALLMARK : 835 NETHERLANDS, EU. USED LONG AGO, THE HALLMARK ON THIS PIECE WAS HARD TO FIND!!  MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD LOUPE AND LOOK ON THE C - CATCH / CLOSURE, ON TOP OF THE CLOSURE YOU WILL SEE THE HALLMARK 835.  I DID NOT SEE IT UNTIL I RESEARCHED THE FIRST ITEMS MADE BY DELFT IN THE 1600'S AND THEN THE JEWERLY LINE IN THE 1800'S.  MANY OF THE FIRST PIECES OF JEWELRY WERE NOT MARKED

VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE PIECES ARE CONSIDERED PRE-OWNED EVEN IF NEVER USED, WE SEE NO DAMAGE AT ALL.   WE DO BELIEVE THIS BROOCH WAS REPAIRED, IT APPEARS THIS BROOCH STARTED WITH THE TUBE HINGE AND REPAIRED WITH A ROUND HINGE.  IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THE REPAIR WAS DONE CORRECTLY AND LONG AGO. THIS TYPE OF HINGE WAS MADE THROUGH THE 1930'S AS REPAIR HINGES.  THIS ITEM IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THE CLOSURE WORKS VERY GOOD, NICE TIGHT FIT!  THE 'C' CLOSURE WAS NOT USED AFTER 1910 DUE TO NEW 'SAFER' CLOSURE TYPES.  OVERALL RATING IS VERY GOOD.
