Early 1900's Enameled Crab Brooch, Light Teal, Fancy Crab, Mandarin/Chinese Design, 1"

$ 50.00

Vintage Light Teal Enameled/Guilloche Fancy Crab Brooch - it has a mandarin or Chinese flare to it.  Early 1900's.  I at first thought it was a moth but, having handled crabs, I realize it has very crab-like attributes and it has it's claws tucked under it's antenna and the other feathery part of the crab at it's face.  It is very layered.  There is some mild wear of the enamel on the left elbow of the tucked claw.  It is still very nice given it's age.  It has a C Clasp on the back and the pin extends to the far edge of the crab.  I'd still call in good condition, just not perfect.   This came from a Florida estate - keep watching many more items from the 1800's to current coming soon.   See photos.

Please note that most of my photos are taken at 10X magnification. This shows any blemishes much more magnified than they really are.

I keep great notes about each item and can answer most questions quickly, but I do not store fine jewelry on premises, so answers about specific measurements may take some time as I arrange to inspect the piece again.

In addition to this website, Maria's Vintage, I am on eBay as stampshopgirl, on Etsy as stampshopgirl, and on StorEnvy as Maria's. I have many vintage jewelry items and other vintage and new items - a very wide variety.

I will combine shipping, even if you buy items from one of my other stores. If you purchase one item and know you’ll be picking more, just email me and let me know and I will ship them at the same time and refund the shipping over the combined limit.

Given the number of different items I carry it is hard to know what combination of items can be purchased to pre-plan the shipping, so just email me and we will work it out to save you shipping charges whenever possible.
