Vintage Unsigned Giovanni Blue Enamel Rose Brooch
Description
This rosebud skipped red and went straight to blue. Cornflower to royal blue enamel petals open above green enameled sepals, set on a slim gold-tone stem with small molded thorns. Two leaves with fine engraved veining lift slightly off the stem for a lifelike, dimensional look. Attributed to Giovanni, unsigned. It is a classic mid-century botanical design in an unexpected color.
