Huge vintage faux turquoise art glass cabochon brooch, Art Deco Czech, antique silver tone with leaf design (read description for condition)
Very unusual, large vintage brooch with moulded glass faux turquoise glass stones and antique silver tone setting with ornate border and lovely, textured leaf design. I haven't seen another quite like this one, but imagine it is likely to be Czech from around the 1920s or 30s.
This piece is very large with a longer length of 2.75 inches and a width of 1.5 inches. It fastens with a simple hook clasp and pin on the reverse. The brooch is in acceptable vintage condition with issues in the form of two chips from two of the glass pieces. Pictures 4 and 5 show the close-ups of these. As you can see, the quality of the faux turquoise glass including the lovely striations that mimic the turquoise gemstone make these chips difficult to see, so have little effect on the brooch when being worn.
