Vintage Wedgwood black and white jasper matching set, demi-parure, consisting of a brooch / pendant and a pair of earrings set in sterling silver. Made in England and set in Germany, early 20th century.<br><br>
Oval Brooch/pendant measures just under 2 inches long; Round earrings are approx 7/8 inch in diameter. <br><br>
Each item is made in high relief white on black jasper and depicts a Classical scene. The brooch / pendant shows a woman, dressed in Roman/ Greek drapery, her hair piled up on her head, seated under a swaying tree. She leans on one elbow while the other hand holds a leashed small dog with long ears (probably a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), who stands on two legs and with the exuberance and warmth of his breed, jumps up at her. A trumpet at her side. Perhaps goddess of the hunt in repose. Great detail to the foliage of the tree
, her hair and to the little dog. The earrings each depict a Classic head of a woman in profile. <br>
The earrings have their original screw-on backs, typical of the early 20th century. The brooch has a C-catch and a loop on top for hanging it as a pendant. It also has a silver safety chain and pin. <br><br>
Marks: on earrings: Back of black jasper porcelain is impressed WEDGWOOD and EC. THe silver is engraved GERMANY and STERLING. The brooch has impressed WEDGWOOD Made in England, 57, EC. <br><br>
