Vintage base metal pendant. Marked LB.
A vintage micro mosaic pendant in the shape of a six petal flower. The centre is a deep cobalt blue set with a pink and green flower, and each petal holds its own little white and red flower on a dark ground, all made from tiny pieces of glass set one by one. Micro mosaics were made famous in Rome in the 18th and 19th centuries and snapped up by Grand Tour travellers as souvenirs, the detail you get is incredible for the size. This example is mounted in a gilt metal frame with a bail at the top. A real work of patience and skill, and a lovely little piece of wearable art.
Made in the last hundred years or so, without belonging to one design period. Its date, where known, is under Details.
