Reserved for Anna - Antique Enameled Vinaigrette Blue Opal MOP Quatrefoils Baroque Pearls Necklace - Brezza Dolce Unique powder blue hand-linked Wahee Blue Opal chain is periodically intercepted with stations of blush pink baroque pearls and pink Mother-of-Pearl quatrefoils to create a gorgeous backdrop for a most charming antique hand-painted enameled pendant. The one-of-a-kind pendant is actually a beautiful Victorian Austro Hungarian gilt silver vinaigrette used in its heyday to ward off the foul odors of the streets and/or as a remedy for faintness when filled with scented vinegar. This hot air balloon shaped vinaigrette with all-over enameled designs of young lovers in a woodland setting - reveals a an elaborate grill work gilt interior with the marks SG - presumably that of the Viennese artisan Samuel Goldfarb along with the letter A. Given the age of the vinaigrette, it is in remarkably good condition - the latch is in good working order and shuts tightly / no cracks in the still brightly painted enamel - just two very small flea bites near the loop / grill-work cap fits snugly and this darling little work of art even contains what appears to be a type of wool cotton underneath the grill. This one-of-a-kind necklace is certain to be a conversation piece. Necklace measures 27 long / 2.5 drop Vinaigrette measures 1.36 long X .80 diameter Reference: 34151
