Vintage West Germany Blue Glass Floral Filigree Aurora Borealis Brooch

Vintage West Germany Blue Glass Floral Filigree Brooch A striking and highly dimensional vintage West German floral brooch featuring beautiful blue faceted glass beads, intricate layered metalwork, and an elaborate openwork filigree backing. The brooch has an unusually sculptural, stacked construction, with floral and botanical elements extending outward from the central design. The detailed pierced filigree reverse is particularly impressive and adds to its collectible mid-century character. Details: * West Germany * Estimated 1950s * Approximately 2¾ inches long * Blue faceted glass beads/stones * Gold-tone and silver-tone metal * Intricate layered floral construction * Elaborate openwork filigree backing * Secure vintage pin mechanism * Vintage condition with age-appropriate wear/patina with blue vertigris which I feel looks neat. It may be possible to remove with vinegar and a cotton swab. The construction is consistent with West German jewelry production, including the important Kaufbeuren-Neugablonz jewelry-making tradition.
