RARE MAZER STERLING SILVER LEAP FROG BROOCHCLEAR RHINESTONES & ART GLASS JELLY BELLY
This wonderfully whimsical Leaping Frog brooch is made of Sterling Silver with Gold tone plating, a large Aqua & Turquoise Art Glass Jelly Belly, Clear rhinestone legs and head, and has 2 Red Cabochon eyes.
The pin was produced in 1945 using what appears to be the same mold as the lucite bellied style that was introduced in Mademoiselle magazine for Richter's in New York. ...The brooch was made in two versions; one with rhinestones and one without rhinestones. This brooch is the more rare one with the rhinestones. Since the publication of the Brunialti book, it is conceded among costume jewelry experts that the piece was manufactured by and is an unsigned Mazer.
It measures approximately 2-1/2 x 2-1/4" and has a safety closure. You'll find the Sterling mark on the back of the brooch on one side of the Jelly Belly. I consider this brooch to be in Excellent Vintage Condition and it comes to you from a non-smoking home.

Please look at all of the photos as they are part of the description.
