Lot of 5 Vintage RUSSIAN HAND PAINTED LACQUERWARE BROOCHES

Description

GREETINGS!  I am pleased to offer a wonderful collection of five lovely hand painted black lacquer Russian brooches, all with different motiffs.  The oval approx. 2.5" brooch with scalloped edge mounted on original card has a lovely hand painted floral bouquet design on a black background.  The back is gold signed EO and 2002.  The card that it is mounted on describes it as Hand Painted in Russia, originating in the village of Zhostovo, "Wavy Floral."  The 2" circular brooch has a floral bouquet as well on a blue background with a gold decorative edge and artist signature "YOCOML".  The back retains its original gold foil circular sticker with "Russian Classics, 100% Handmade."  The 2-1/8" oval brooch has a beautiful maiden carrying water buckets.  This brooch has very fine age crackling that was observed under high magnification.  No signature, but most likely from Palekh, the Russian region of painters of fairy tales. The 2-1/2 oval scalloped edge black background brooch has a lovely pink and green flower motiff with gold decorated edge and artist's signature in gold lettering on back.  The 2.5" brown and black oval brooch with blue and white flowers and gold decorative edge has an artist's signature in gold lettering on back.    All five brooches are scratch free and bright and are in excellent very clean condition.  Any white areas as seen in photos are light reflections, all paintings are complete.
