This is a beautiful round shaped brooch or pin made from redware clay pottery. It is glazed in white and then hand painted with a stunning blue and brown bird, a yellow tulip like flower and a rose pink heart shaped flower and green leaves on the vine. It is signed on the back with a symbol or logo and 1984 for the year, between the J and the E for the artist’s name is a heart. It measures approximately 1 inch in diameter.
The brooch is very similar to Stangl pottery, the bird, leaves, flower and coloring can be found on many pieces of Stangl pottery. Stangl was also famous for the use of redware clay and during the 1950s even created hand painted round and oval porcelain brooches and earring sets designed by Kay Hackett. The artist of this pretty brooch made in 1984 was obviously a fan of this style and recreated the pottery design as wearable jewelry art.
I have another brooch by the same artist for sale in my booth. I will combine shipping and offer a discount if both are purchased at the same time.
It is in excellent vintage condition as you can see by the enlarged photographs. There are no chips or cracks. Please look at the photos as they are part of the description and show the details better than I can describe.
This pin has a feeling of whimsical charm to it and would be perfect for Spring or Summer wardrobes. It would make a wonderful addition to your collection of hand crafted jewelry.
