About this piece

This circular pendant captures the spirit of the 1960s–70s with a playful take on the zodiac. The obverse is a rich cobalt blue, decorated in gilt with botanical imagery—flowering plants, wheat sprays and a watering can—arranged around the Libra scales. The reverse bears the characteristic speckled “salt and pepper” counter-enamel typical of vintage enamelwork from this era, along with a dark copper firescale rim from the kiln firing.

The piece measures approximately 45 mm across and hangs from a brass jump ring, ready for a chain or cord of your choice. Though unsigned, it exemplifies the craftsmanship of mid-century enamel on copper work. The gold decoration remains bright with only minimal wear; there are a few small chips to the enamel edge, a slight natural waviness to the surface, and a tiny green fleck, all entirely consistent with honest vintage use. A charming conversation piece for anyone drawn to astrology, botanical motifs or the confident colour work of the period.
