Circa: 1950 Condition: Good Size: 1-3/4" x 1-7/8" Type: Pin Manufacturer: Japan
One of the most popular categories in figural costume jewelry is the face pin. This Japanese pin is gold-plated porcelain with hand painted features. Using a gold finish was popular on china products and rarely marked. They used 14kt and 18kt gold in the process. I can't be certain which this is. When my Uncle was posted in Japan in the 50's, this was the type of souvenir stuff he brought home for us kids. Estimated book value $150.
Condition: There are only two tiny surface chips to the finish; otherwise it's in very good condition.
