I was just letting them know it was definitely of French origin and gave them links of examples to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>These foil enamel portraits were made in the Limoges area of France and you can find them on plaques, pendants, rings, bracelets, boxes, jewel caskets, brooches, vases and other objects.

The enamel portraits from the teens to the 1930&#039;s like the OP&#039;s, started getting sloppy, but the trinket, powder, jewel, and pill boxes are highly collectible and sought after by collectors of miniature portraits no matter what era they were made in. The earlier pieces of course command the higher values.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
