Vintage Fish Brooch Pin Taxco Mexico Enamel Sterling Silver JF Signed

Designer Hallmark Conjoined Letters
Mexican Silversmith
Exotic Tropical Sealife
Rainbow Multi Color
Green Blue Orange Yellow White
Basse-taile Champleve Guilloche Enameling
Mid Century Modern
This is a stunning enamel and sterling silver fish. It was made in Taxco, Mexico and is signed ono the back with the conjoined initials JF. It is also marked Sterling Hecho en Mexico 925, and has the Eagle 3 assay stamp. I believe this mark belongs to Jeronimo Fuentes, although I have seen it listed as Jose Federico (Frederico). Fuentes became one of Margot van Voorhies (Margot de Taxco) silversmiths in the 1950s. The enameling on the scales is lovely in shades of green, blue, orange, yellow and a silvery white. From what I have read, I think it is Guilloche enameling using the basse-taille technique. It measures approximately 1 inches long and 1 inches tall. It closes with a rollover clasp. It weighs .25 ounces on my postage scale, which converts to 7.09 grams.
This brooch is in great vintage condition as you can see by the enlarged photographs. There is no enamel loss and the enamel colors are bright and vivid. It does have the tarnishing and patina that forms on silver and I will leave any polishing up to you; you can keep it in the same condition with its original patina or polish it. Please look at the photos as they are part of the description and show the details better than I can describe.
This would be perfect for any fish lover. If you collect Mexican jewelry, this is one that you should definitely include. It will look great on a jacket lapel, a dress, scarf and more.
This will be sent 1st Class Mail with Tracking/Delivery Confirmation and Insurance. For more information about me and booth policies, click on Starfisher's Stars at the top of this page, it will take you to the main page of my booth. Thanks for visiting!
