Vintage Limoges Enamel and Brass Signed J. Pineau Round Brooch

A rare mid‑century Limoges enamel brooch signed by J. Pineau, this piece represents the higher tier of French enamel artistry — not painted porcelain, but layered glass enamel on copper with sculptural depth. The raised floral motif, created through meticulous applications of poured glass, gives the brooch a dimensional presence that sets it apart from standard Limoges work. Framed in an ornate brass bezel, it reflects the refined craftsmanship and quiet luxury associated with 1950s Limoges ateliers.
The floral motif — soft pink blossoms against a deep green ground — evokes sculptural clarity and quiet refinement. Each element is expertly encrusted to create a subtle three-dimensional effect, framed by an ornate brass bezel with rope-like texture.
Signed “J. Pineau Limoges” on the reverse, this brooch reflects the artisanal finesse of 1950s French design. The secure pin clasp allows for easy wear, whether styled on a lapel, scarf, or velvet ribbon.
