Jade Pin




Answer button

Description:

This jade brooch measures 2 1/2" high and about 1 3/4" wide and 1" deep. The mark on the back is CHINASIIVEE.  I believe the brooch is jade, silver and enamel. One of the small enameled leaves is missing also the closure is missing on the back. I found this brooch several years ago at a thrift store and know nothing about the history.

Tall Art Nouveau Vase




Answer button

Description:

I purchased this piece 20 years ago from an antiques dealer. The vase stands 21" tall and 6" at it's widest. The vase has branches, leaves, flowers and a large fly to decorate the piece. These are brass and have a wonderful patina...with the exception of the flowers. Someone decided to paint/antique them silver. The vase under-decoration is the old decalcomania with a clear glaze over. The vase originally had a note stating it was made by Clement Massier and was exhibited at an 1898 or later exposition. I misplaced the note. There are only under-glaze pencil type marks and nondescript scratch marks, and I think a couple of numbers on the base.
