Vintage Brooch - Vintage Jewelry - Pewter Jewelry - Swedish Jewelry - Floral Pin - Narke Sweden - Scandinavian Jewelry - Mother's Day Gift by HappyFortuneVintage

0
0

25.95 USD

Renowned for their metal work, Scandinavian designers set the standard for modern mid-century pewter & silver jewelry. Pin this floral brooch onto a black turtleneck sweater for a very modernist look.

The pin is marked "Narke," which is a town in Sweden, as well as the Swedish word for the cowslip flower. The flower on the brooch is clearly a cowslip. Very cool! The pin also has a markers mark "B.T. Sweden" and has the look of a Tennesmed piece.

This lovely pin will come in a gift box ready for giving.

The pin is in good condition. There is a scratch on the back near the makers mark. The pin back shows oxidation. It could be cleaned but I will leave it to you. The very tip of the pin point has a slight curve to it. I'm not sure if this is original or not. The pin works just fine and is very secure.

Measurements: 1 3/4" x 1 1/2"

145.00 USD

A beautiful example of Japanese champleve, this vintage vase is made from carved metal (most likely bronze) and inlaid enamel. The metal vase has a classic Japanese enamel design and decorative figural bird head handles.

The vase is very old, dating from at least the 1920s and perhaps earlier. The vintage vase is in good condition but does show signs of age including light scratches on the bottom. The vase also has an irregularity on the bottom rim which looks to be from the manufacturing process. The piece is marked "Made in Japan" on the bottom.

45.00 USD

These are the real deal -- vintage Shiny Brite glass Christmas ornaments. This 12-pack assortment in shades of pink & red, is very old, dating back to the late 1940s.

The ornaments show their age. They are discolored, spotted, faded & have paint loss. But, they are beautiful. Some of them have white stuff on them which I'm guessing is old spray on "snow." Please look closely at the photographs.

Ornaments come in the bottom portion of an original Shiny Brite box. The box is missing its top.

Assortment includes stripes in pink, white, silver & gold, two of which have some mica. Four ornaments have stenciling (3 with "Merry Christmas" & 1 with Santa flying in his sled with reindeer).

Orbs are approximately 3" from cap to base.

Basket not included.
