This miniature portrait brooch from 1930s France is made from porcelain and features a hand painted, transfer ware and glazed design. Each pearl is individually painted.
I am not sure who the lady is but you can be sure I am doing my research.
Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating clay-type materials to high temperatures. It includes clay in the form of kaolinite. There is a distinction between hard-paste porcelain, fired at 1400 degrees Celsius, and soft-paste porcelain, fired at 1200 degrees Celsius.
I love the idea of wearing a mini plate especially with a miniature person on it.
Saint-Uze ceramics were produced in several villages in the Drôme from the beginning of the 19th century and during the 20th century, notably in the village of the same name. It has become a favourite of collectors.
