Oval Blue and White Cameo Brooch/Pendant
This item is an oval-shaped cameo, likely intended as a brooch or pendant, currently housed within a clear, square plastic display case with a black velvet or felt backing. The cameo itself features a classic female profile, facing left, rendered in white relief against a light blue background. The carving is finely detailed, depicting the hair styled in an updo and a distinct facial profile. The cameo is encircled by a golden-toned bezel, which appears to be either a thin metal frame or a decorative border, showing some signs of age or wear with slight discoloration visible in certain areas. The overall dimensions of the cameo appear to be approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in height, based on its proportion to the hand holding the display case. The display case itself is a simple, clear acrylic box designed for presentation or protection, showing minor surface scuffs consistent with handling. The contrast of the white relief against the blue background is characteristic of Wedgwood-style jasperware or similar ceramic cameos, though it could also be shell or a resin imitation. Without closer inspection, the exact material cannot be definitively determined. The style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary manufacturing period, drawing on classical motifs. The craftsmanship of the cameo carving itself appears to be of decent quality, with clear lines and good definition in the profile. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image.
