Vintage Dress Clip with Pink and Blue Plastic Flowers

Cute, cute, cute. This cute dress clip is made of brass with a wired bouquet of little pink and blue plastic flowers and green enamel tinged leaves sweeping up the center. The green enamel wash is on the leaves, the frame as well as the back. It really is paint and not any type of green rust or anything else. It appears that the brass may have been completely painted front and back, I think, and then partially removed. Or, it could have made the way it is now.

The clip is nice and strong and decorated with a beautiful floral pattern. Under the clip you can see the domed screen to which the flowers are wired. When I first acquired this dress clip, I didn't realize that the green enamel was actually part of the clip. Upon closer inspection, the green color was added after the flowers were added. There is a tiny bit of green enamel paint on a couple of the pink flowers. Not enough to notice but helped me see that the green enamel was part of the initial design.

The clip measures 1 3/4" high and 1 1/8" wide. It is in very good condition.
