This ceramic brooch features an oval silhouette and a smooth glazed texture, offering a playful aesthetic for curated boudoir displays.
A charming tribute to feline grace, this vintage portrait brooch captures the soulful gaze of a green-eyed tabby cat set against a crisp white backdrop. The central ceramic cabochon is elegantly framed by an intricate gold-tone filigree border, which adds a layer of Victorian revival sophistication to the piece. Its delicate craftsmanship makes it a versatile accessory, equally at home pinned to a velvet blazer or adorning a lace collar in a classic romantic ensemble.
The warmth of the tabby’s markings and the shimmer of the gold-tone metal evoke a sense of nostalgic comfort and timeless style. This piece transcends simple costume jewelry, acting as a small-scale work of art for the collector who finds beauty in the details of the natural world. Whether gifted to a dedicated cat enthusiast or kept as a personal treasure, this brooch serves as a whimsical yet refined statement of character.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
