Reclining Lady Portrait Berlin Porcelain Plaque Brooch in High Carat Gold With Locket Back opal_pendant transitional cuts and more modernDescription: Quality, quality quality! Starting with the hand painted porcelain plaque (most likely Berlin) a fabulously rendered work of art that you can wear. She's super pretty and showing just enough flesh to have been pretty risque at the time! Its a very skilled painting. The mount which holds it is also top drawer. Its high carat gold and the workmanship is exquisite. It also has a locket back, a loop at the top for safety chain or pendant
