<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 4294632, member: 111"]Unlikely to be by the Danish firm Hans Jensen, not the type of piece they produced, nor is the mark anything I've seen on a Hans Jensen piece, and not the correct fineness for Danish or any other Scandinavian silver (though there are uncommon anomalies). The style is very similar to Norwegian enamel brooches, though the guilloché pattern isn't typical of Norwegian, but have certainly seen Norwegian brooches with florals. Whether the quality mark is '835S' or '935S' (and while '900' fineness is found on Norwegian silver, '800' would be unlikely, since it would be below their standard), believe this piece is more likely early 20th century German, done in the Norwegian style, probably by one of the numerous Pforzheim jewelry manufacturers. Regardless, it's a pretty piece and should sell well...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
