This Victorian French porcelain painted pendant / brooch and earring set are in incredible condition. The earrings depict the same image, with a young girl holding a basket of flowers. The pendant / brooch depicts a woman with her dress carried up as if she was walking through water so she wouldn't get her dress wet and carrying a basket. The detail is beautifully hand rendered on the painted porcelain and the gold filigree. The porcelain is backed by abalone shell. The earrings are hinged in 2 places so they have graceful movement when worn.
