Bavarian Antique Pin Pansy Floral Intaglio Glass Brooch 1950s Jewelry

If the photo of this pin has you intrigued, and you love old glass jewelry like Camphor or Lalique glass, read on...because Im probably the only person on the internet who can tell you about the origins of this pin. It is very precious and rare.

This pin was made in Bavaria after World War II in a region called Neu-Gablonz, or close to Ausburg. In 1991, a German woman by the name of Sibylle Jargstorf published a book on Bohemian glass, filled with the history of glass making in this region. In her book she depicts painted intaglio glass domes that were made in Bavaria in the 1940s and 1950s. She attributes the intaglio glass method to German Johann Friedrich Reiffenstein (1719-1793) who in 1766, achieved cameo incrustations or sulfides. Look at the last photo above which portrays these intaglio glass cabs from her book.

I have seen various motifs of these pins. Sometimes peacocks, butterflies, flowers, waterfalls, or other scenery. Most of the reverse painted intaglio pins I have seen are in poor condition, having been mistreated and not cared for properly, resulting in cracked and chipped cloudy glass cabs and moisture damaged faded paints. These glass cabs do not like to be left in bright light for long lengths of time and they do not like high humidity, which will also cause the paints to fade and black spots behind the glass to form.

This large rectangular brooch is angled on the corners in a picture frame style. The pansy floral design is 3D in metallic light pink and hot pink. The 3D leaves are green and yellow enamel with some white flower buds mixed in. The background is a very special iridized sulfide glass that resembles famous Lalique glass, or resembling the pastel hues like Mother of Pearl shell has. The clear glass face is domed and the perimeter is beveled and hand polished.

The frame is silver gilt / brass metal with 4 clear rhinestones on each side. These old Austrian rhinestones have diamond like brilliance as they were hand faceted and have a high lead content. Some collectors might be fooled dating this piece by the C clasp, commonly used before the mid 1930s, but this brooch was assuredly made in the mid to late 1940s.

Medium large in size, the brooch is 1 3/4" wide x 1 1/2" tall or 44 mm x 38 mm. This pin is in great condition for a piece such as this. The paints are bright and not faded and do not have any damage from sunlight or moisture. The glass is clear and there are no scratches, chips, or cracks. All of the rhinestones are original, present, and super sparkling. The pin is very clean and there is no dirt or verdigris anywhere. The back is silver gilt with no wear.

Now, if you ever come across a reverse painted intaglio glass pin similar to this, you will know where it came from, when it was made, and how to evaluate the condition. If the intaglio work is in poor or damaged condition, it is not worth much and will not appreciate in value. If you find one and the seller calls it Goofus glass, run! They REALLY dont have a clue what they are talking about. This is NOT Goofus glass like what was made in the USA!

You can add a silver brooch slider to convert this pin to a pendant by checking the box below. Sliders come with a pair of silicon stoppers to hold slider in place.
