Enamel and Two-Tone Metal Ship Brooch

The item is a detailed brooch or pin in the shape of a ship, likely a galleon or a similar historical sailing vessel, held by fingers, indicating it is relatively small, suitable for wear as an accessory. It features a predominantly gold-toned metal, possibly gold, gold-plated, or gilded brass, with intricate silver-toned accents that appear to be rhodium-plated or silver. The most striking features are the ship's sails, which are adorned with detailed enamel work in red and black, with gold lines forming what resembles crosses and other heraldic patterns, possibly resembling the 'Cross of St. George' or a 'Jerusalem Cross' on the main sails. The hull of the ship is also intricately detailed with a textured surface, suggesting etched or cast patterns. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, with fine details discernible on the rigging, cannons (if any are visible), and the hull's architecture. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage like bends, chips, or missing parts, though some minor surface wear or patina might be present consistent with age and use. The 'identification number on the back' suggests it is a manufactured piece, potentially from a known jewelry maker or collection. Given the style, it could date from the mid-20th century onwards, possibly a vintage piece from the 1950s-1970s, or even a more contemporary piece designed to evoke a historical aesthetic. The combination of different metals and the vibrant enamel work adds to its visual appeal and suggests good quality craftsmanship.
