This is from my personal collection and I have never offered this for sale. I am its third owner and purchased these from a woman in Charleston SC who had it in her family from the day it was made. From what I understand her ancestors traveled abroad and loved this destination so much they visited the area often. Apparently they were high up in society and made many friends in the Asian country. These were presented to the wife as a gift from one of the well to do families they became close friends with. This was hand painted for them to remind them of the lovely country they had become so attached to . These are reverse painted, completely hand wrought and they are original to each other. The brooch is quite large ( 2 ¼") and when you hold it to the light they are little panes of empty places where light sweeps thru. The earrings are 2" long with French wires. These should be in a museum as they are not only wonderful works of art but also because they are one of a kind and truly rare. The colors are rich and the photos do not come close to how detailed they are. Very little paint loss too. These are being sold as a set and are from the Georgian period.
