I’d love some input on this brooch. I purchased it at a thrift store. ChatGPT thinks they are hand painted fish. I see llamas possibly. It doesn’t help there is a chip in the porcelain, but still…what the heck is it? Filigree is gorgeous lots of patina and wear, but the painting is nuts. What do you guys think. Also era? Mid Century?

I wanted to share this with you all. I found this little brooch at an antique mall and paid $7 for it. I thought he would bring a little bit because of being a mushroom. When I went to sell him for a starting bid of $1, I turned him over to look for a makers mark and seen 14 K. I thought surely not but I was like let me test him and bring him back next show. I took him to the jeweler. He told me it was solid gold, coral ball, and emerald eyes. His comps were pretty high, some as high as $1500. I sold him for $750!! He was only about two inches long!!

Best thumbnail EVER. I need that.... Nice one @Brett Jones 🤌🏻😅

I won this lot for 9.98!!!! I figured 10 bucks what do I have to lose? If if even a couple of these are good pieces I’m golden. I’m over the moon with what I got!!!

How did they get the music into the silent auctions that sounds so perfect am I missing something? Maybe it’s an easy thing and I’m just not aware of how to do it. It just sounds so clear while they’re doing a silent auction.
