Description: Victorian Hand Painted Porcelain Brooch with Big Pink Cabbage Roses and Blue Forget-Me-NotsEven prettier in person...so beautiful and with nice vibrant colors!2&3/8" by 1&7/8"....Quite Large!Lovely condition, save for tarnish on reverse. I did not attempt polishing._________________________________ Painting small porcelain items was a cottage industry in the 1800's and early 1900's. I can just picture Victorian women sitting by the fire, making pennies painting these Lovelies! A little history….H.C. Standage wrote in Letts's Household Magazine in 1884, "In the household china-painting affords amusement for the girls in the family during the hours their brothers and father leave for business, and return in the evening. Too many such ladies, who have nothing better to do than novel reading, this method of filling their time will be esteemed a great boon. Doubly so, since their work may be used either as decorations to the wall surface, if it be plaques they paint, or else disposed of at a profit to themselves to increase their pin-money, or may be given to some bazaar for charitable purposes.”
