    it’s large and heavy. Maybe pot metal? Was wondering if anyone knows age, origin, maker or?
    Ty so much for any help.
    PS. I Love the color on this!

    First thought is 1940s into early 50s and pot metal.

    I like that, it is different and snazzy.

    Ty for the help. No markings at all on this. I was totally unsure of the era

    I missed this! It’s lovely. Is there anything to see on that little circle to the left of the pin?
    Great colours :)

    If it is vitreous enamel,the piece is not pot metal.

    Agree, I don't think pot metal. Almost wondering if this could be more recent, like 1980/1990s? I haven't seen an older piece looking quite like this but maybe just haven't run into it yet. Not saying this is Catherine Popesco, but like her jewelry, maybe newer with a nod to older?? The enamel seems nicely done. Interesting how the back has that iridescence.

    Very pretty brooch!

    The hinge is 40s/50s.

    I could not make out anything in the circle. I was thinking it was the copyright thingy but it’s not

    I was told this was possibly from the 40’s but that was all they remembered
