Brooch – 18ct gold miniature painted porcelain

The detail in this brooch has to be seen to be believed. A hand-painted porcelain panel of a Swiss village on a lake with a mountainous background. Friends greet each other on a pathway, and a little boat sails on the lake. Encased in an elaborate 18ct gold frame, this little work of art measures 6cm x 3.5cm. Mid 19th Century.
