The Morpho butterfly, captured in South American rain forests, imparts the lovely sheen found in these collector's items.These are generally produced by a technique called reverse painting. That is, the tint is painted directly on the back of the glass and then placed atop the butterfly wing background. THis is an early English sterling one that actually has a victorian figure of a Greek Goddess holding a flower that has been painted white. Under her are the hints of colors from the butterfly wing. She has some wear to her white coloring but considering she is almost 100 years old I think that is to be expected. This is 1 1/2" tall.
