Early CORO Enamel Bird Pin in Vivid Colors by A. Katz!

Jewelry : Vintage : Coro

 

Presented for your consideration is a beautiful early enameled bird brooch/pin designed and signed by CORO. The pin is in excellent vintage condition and measures 2" long x 2 5/8" tall x 5/8" deep. The body of the bird is pot metal and the enameling is aqua or turquoise, deep yellow, coral and pink. On the bird's wings are small pink round cut rhinestones.

There is little loss of plating or enameling- one tiny spot on the beak and two spots on the bird's tail feathers, there are no damaged or missing stones, and the locking clasp on the back of the pin works perfectly. The back is signed CORO in the oldest script dating this pin to the early 1940's. The silvertone plating on the back is mottled which does not show at all on the front and does not affect the beauty or wearability of the pin. The detail is amazing and the enamel on this pin, vibrant and eye-catching!

Mark: Coro, Old Script- "o" on end not seen.

Metal: Pot Metal with Enamel

Remarks: Slight enamel loss on tip of beak and tips of two back feathers.
