DECO LADY'S HEAD VINTAGE BROOCH - PURPLE & GREEN

This is a vintage brooch - probably from 1960/70s - depicting an Art Deco lady wearing a green and black hat.  Very stylish!  She also has a green scarf on a light purple dress.  The background is a deep purple.  The pin on the back is marked 'Made in W Germany'.  It measures approx 2 1/4 inches and is probably on a light metal base.  Ref: 3128 C79/29 price £55

THE LEA STEIN POODLE BROOCH IN BLACK AND RED

Lea Stein is always popular in my shop at Grays Antiques - and so are poodles - so this is a winning combination!  The black poodle has 2 red rosettes and a gold bow.  It is a genuine Lea Stein with the correct marking - Lea Stein Paris - on the pin.  The real Lea Stein jewellery is so much better than the cheap Chinese imports.  Full details on my web site.  Price £65 Ref: 3126 C77/38

PAVONE BROOCH - DALMATION - GRAYISH/WHITE DOG WITH BLACK SPOTS

This brooch was made by Marie-Christine Pavone - who makes from re-worked galalith plastic.  (Please see my notes on Pavone on my Web Site under 'Manufacturers - my notes).  It is a white/gray colour and has black spots, black trim and red collar.  It has been pre-owned.  I love Pavone's work - which always shows a sense of humour.  She also makes great earrings and bangles.  Ref: 3125 C78/17 Price £68

DIAMANTE & CRIMSON GLASS STONES VINTAGE SPRAY BROOCH

I just love the crimson colour of these baguettes and marquise shaped stones - so beautiful!  Wish I could buy more stock of this quality at a reasonable price.  It is often a case of trying to buy the best stock you can but keep the prices at an affordable level.  So difficult sometimes.  So lucky too that all the stones were present in this brooch and that I needed to do nothing to it.  I have piles of stock at home all waiting for me to attend to.  Full details are on my web site.  Hope it finds a good home where it will be treasured!  Ref: 3123 C75/18 Price £75
