This is a beautiful antique Japanese export brooch from around the Taisho period. The design is of a small and perky looking bird (I believe it is a Red Flanked Bluetail), perched on a lotus with a background of faint reeds, done in ginbari cloisonné. The ginbari background is enamelled in a lovely violet to clear ombré, and the reeds are part of the texture. It is in good condition, there is a small loss to the enamel on part of the edge (please see pics), but it’s only a very sma...ll edge area so not really noticeable enough to spoil the piece, there are also some small bubbles to the enamel. The wires are silver, and the setting is gilded with a C clasp. 2.8cm across. Sent 2nd class signed for.
