White jade orchid flower mounted in a gilt silver filigree brooch. The leaves on the sides of the brooch are enameled in two shades of blue. The back is marked in English with the word ‘silver’ and dates from the 1950’s or 1960's. It was presumably made in Hong Kong for the American market. There are still many brooches around in the States of the same type but with different jade insets. This one entered the Lowlands-collection from America. A similar type of flower (nr 335) is depicted in professor Cheng Te-k’un’s book ‘Jade Flowers and Floral Patterns in Chinese Decorative Art’.
