RARE Miriam Haskell Pink Glass and Crystal Floral Butterfly Brooch with Horseshoe Cartouche

RARE Miriam Haskell Pink Glass and Crystal Floral Butterfly Brooch with Horseshoe Cartouche, highly sought after by her growing number of adoring fans and collectors. This is such a beautiful piece, the detailing synonymous with Haskell's wonderful style and femininity. The Horseshoe Cartouche was first used by Haskell between 1948 and 1950, as requested by one particular retailer in New England. However, these cartouches continued to be used until all stock had been depleted, which was normal practice for manufacturers, which may have taken months to a couple of years. It therefore, gives us a brief window of time when this brooch was likely to have been made. This beautiful brooch combines a floral display in a variety of pink tones with her iconic butterfly perched at the one side, and includes molded glass pastel pink beads, pink baguette crystals, clear round crystals, all intricately hand worked into a beautiful foliate frame and her distinctive filigree back, and both in Haskell's divine Russian gold finish. This beautiful brooch is a remarkable example and epitomises Haskell's creative vision and extraordinary talent. The brooch measures 5.5cm at its tallest point and 4.7cm at its widest point and it weighs 29g.
