“Rhine” brown transferware broken china earrings. Made from a teacup by John Meir and Son, England. Produced between 1840-1870. Antique brass earring hooks.
*Note in photos – there is print on the back side of the earrings as well as the front.
I create the type of jewelry I want for myself. (My passion is vintage teacups and plates!) The edges of the china are ground to create a smooth perimeter and coated with sealant for protection. I include paper cards with an image of the original plate or teacup and the maker’s mark. The antique china has lived a storied life and often includes small imperfections such as crazing (fine, hairline cracks that appear only in the top glaze.) Each piece of jewelry is truly one-of-a-kind.
