Real or Fake - Handpainted??

[Button Lover]

I picked this brooch up for .25 cents at a garage sale and didn't realize until I got home that it appears to be hand painted. Is this vintage, antique, or does anyone know the maker, approx. year made?


Approximate size is: 1 1/2" long by 1" across.

Thank you all for your help

On your closeup, you can see the regular pattern of "dots" making up the picture. Similar to any printed picture on a newspaper when you look at it up close. So it's printed, not hand painted.

I wish I could see the full picture. Is it a brooch? Maybe someone will be kind enough to help you resize.

From what little I can see reminds me of a hand painted Nellie Rosenbaum costume jewelry brooch that I am selling but I have no idea if she made full figures which I think you have posted..

I resized one for you. I would suggest to do the same with the others. Welcome to TN.

Thank you Big cypress, but how do I resize?

Thank you Big cypress, but how do I resize?

The way I do it is move the picture file to a resizing program and then repost. I use Irfanview.

I think we have our own image editor on the bottom where it says in red "read this" before posting

They had something similar a while back on antique's roadshow.

Oops I meant Nellie Rosenstein.

Hello Button Lover,

The scene is Cries of London:

It looks like a 20th century closure

On the back image it looks like a stamp on the right hand loop, or it might just be a reflection.
