"Venetian" style opaque turquoise color glass brooch composed of freehand flame/lampworked flower. Each glass flower leaf is worked onto a wire. The wires are then twisted into a stem to form a flower. The stem is tightly wrapped around with color silk thread and pin is attached to complete the brooch. This type of jewelry originated in Bohemia (Gablonz region) in the early 1800's and is extremely SCARCE - very little survived because of its fragility. We are native Czech born and travel to our "homeland" frequently. Over the last 25 years we were fortunate to acquire some of these "treasures" from the descendants of the highly skilled Artisans, who made this type of jewelry 70-80 years ago. Comparable type of this Art is listed in the book "Collectible Bohemian Glass - Volume II (Pg.85, #1). Pictured 2 ½" flower is from the Collection of Jablonec Museum of Glass and valued between $250-$300!!! Don't pass on this one and enjoy this EXQUISITE piece of "lampwork" glass artistry of the past. Attached round metal tag stamped "Czechoslovakia" in circle. Gablonz, Czechoslovakia circa 1920's. Mint condition. 2 1/2 inches. There may be slight variation than pictured, since all pieces were hand made, and no 2 pieces were alike. We took photo of 1 piece, but may have/had multiples.
