Victorian Brooch Woman's Portrait on Porcelain

Description

This picture is a little misleading. I took it at a little angle, and it distorted the shape. It's more oval than it looks, 1 1/2" x 1 1/4", more visually comforting, I think. Victorian brooch with a beaded border and crisp, clean, and precise woman's portrait on porcelain. I think it's transfer printed; it seems too fine-lined and detailed to be painted. Maybe I'm wrong; it would not be unprecedented. Original metal backing and pin with safety clasp. Unsigned; mint condition. *Feel free to ignore any Item Specific that seems especially silly, irrelevant, inappropriate, or redundant. eBay frequently adds things without consulting the seller, and which I don’t always catch. Expecting help from eBay Categories? Good luck. I always ship the business day after I receive payment, and pack multiple purchases together to save on shipping. Buyer pays actual USPS postage; there is no handling fee, and I pay for all packing materials. By clicking on “Shipping and Payments,” you can check the postage before you bid . Printed material containing advertising – even old, obsolete advertising – cannot be sent Media Mail. *I don’t know why eBay says I don’t accept returns; I have tried to change that on the listing: an item may be returned if it is substantially different from how I have described it. I will pay return postage. USPS has changed the names of their traditional service. There are only 2 things we need to know: 1) Rates went up again in January and 2) First Class and Retail Ground (now called Ground Advantage) now include insurance up to $100.00. Like Priority, Ground Advantage postage varies with distance. I ship from Arizona. Because of the new rates, and because it now includes insurance, I am going to use Ground Advantage for everything. Sometimes it’s a little slower, but the bottom line is it’s cheaper , sometimes considerably. Thank you for looking, and for wading through the fine print. I will leave Feedback to let you know your item is on the way.
