Description

The listing, Antique Curious Mosiac Flowers Pin ~Black Friday Takeover~ has ended.

Welcome everyone to the Zombie Black Friday Takeover <3

In the spirit of my favorite day of the year, Black Friday (sales, glorious sales ~Flails~)...I am LIQUIDATING PART OF MY PRIVATE LOOT HOARD.
That's right. My special loot. The special loot I hang onto like a scary bird of prey with a trove of shiny objects.
~~So Let's Get Started, Shall we?~~

This is an auction for a pin that I have been holding onto for quite a while. It is something I found so peculiar that I had to have it. I am unknown to it's origins and any insight would be appreciate. All of these pieces are inlaid by hand it seems. Such fine attention to detail, you wont find another like it! It is a very HEAVY pin for it's size. I think the pieces of the mosaic are either porcelain or fired clay. There is no stamp or makers mark on this, and one of the pieces in the edging are missing, though it's barely noticeable. This pin is in excellent shape!

**All of my auctions come with FREE SHIPPING.
**All of my auctions come in bubble wrap mailers for top of the line protection.
**Auctions arrive 3-5 business days after I ship. To guarantee that process I need your
LISTIA VERIFIED ADDRESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
**Auctions come in gift bags to make it easier to gift, or to keep your item together and safe.
**All auctions come with my business card of approval <3

Please leave comments, questions and concerns below. Please be polite. I haven't had to hide comments yet or block thank goodness <3

AUCTIONS ARE SET TO END AROUND BLACK FRIDAY!
(Because of this, auctions ending Friday/Saturday will be shipped Monday because I will be shopping like a crazy person <3)

I do believe this pin is old. I have seen old pins that were made like this one. They used to make these like around the 50s, 60, not absolutely sure about that, but, somewhere around there. :)

It definitely has some age, they don't make jewelry like this anymore honestly. everything now a days is cheap, and made in sweat shops. A real artisan sat down and gave this little pin some love, and attention to detail. It has such a charming character ^_^

it is called micro mosaic, because the pieces are hand placed in. its cool fanned and watching!
