Softly rendered blossoms and foliage give the piece the intimate quality of a miniature painting, while the ceramic plaque is carefully prong set within its surrounding mount, allowing the artwork to remain the unmistakable focal point of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowing botanical imagery reflects the enduring influence of Art Nouveau, a movement that celebrated the natural world through graceful flowers, vines, and organic forms. Although Art Nouveau reached its height around the turn of the 20th century, its romantic floral vocabulary continued to influence jewelry and decorative arts well into the 1920s. Hand-painted porcelain and ceramic plaques were particularly suited to this aesthetic, allowing artists to translate the delicacy of watercolor and botanical illustration into wearable miniature works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike mass-produced costume jewelry, hand-painted ceramic pieces possess subtle variations in brushwork and color that give each example an individual character. The traditional prong-set construction further highlights the medallion as a precious decorative element rather than simply an applied ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharming and wonderfully evocative of the period, this hand-painted floral medallion brooch sits beautifully at the intersection of jewelry and miniature decorative art. Its romantic botanical imagery, oval silhouette, and artisanal character make it a distinctive addition to any collection of Art Nouveau, early 20th-century, or hand-painted jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\/Maker: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEra: 1920s\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial(s): Ceramic\/Brass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarkings\/Stamps: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatch: C-clasp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFastener Direction: Side to Side\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNecklace Bale: No\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Width: (side to side): 2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Length: (top to bottom): 2.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Profile: (back to front): .25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Weight: 33.59g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCall Outs: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinor wear commensurate with age\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSku: TTV918\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"This \u0026 That Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46411093770426,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9124\/9082\/files\/IMG_0238_6be8e0b4-03e8-4d00-b4a5-8fc7581d2d0a.jpg?v=1787327381","url":"https:\/\/thisandthatvintage.com\/products\/1920s-art-nouveau-hand-painted-ceramic-floral-oval-medallion-brooch","provider":"This \u0026 That Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
