A paste pearl and clear paste 'poodle' brooch, Schreiner, USA, 1960s

About the Item

A charming and amusing clear paste and paste pearl brooch, in the form of a 'poodle. Beautifully modeled, with a small red nose as a highlight, and a single pearl atop its tail, a large clear stone as its body, the pearl and paste combination make a perfect combination in this depiction of a poodle. A rare and whimsical Schreiner design! Henry Schreiner started the Schreiner Jewellery Company in 1939 and was director until his death in 1954. His daughter and son in law continued with the business until 1977. In the 1950s he made jewellery for Christian Dior. His jewellery is very distinctive for its use of unusual mounts and subtle colour combinations, using the finest quality rhinestones and crystals. He made exceptionally glamorous belts, bib necklaces, unusually coloured baroque brooches (his signature ‘ruffle’ brooch is a classic!), and large pendant earrings, always glamourous. Bette Davis and Marilyn Monroe promoted his jewellery and wore it in various films. His jewellery is widely collected.
