Sterling Silver Butterfly Brooch Signed

Stunning signed sterling silver modernist butterfly brooch. This beautiful piece is three dimensional and fabulous in its detail. The wings appear to be hand cut and are hand wired to form a delicate yet bold contemporary looking brooch. The back is marked 925, Mexico, and signed TC-189. T refers to items made in Taxco while C would refer to the first letter of the makers last name and 189 refers to the registration of the silversmith in the city assay office. This piece was very likely produced in the 1980s as tourist jewelry. It would make a lovely gift for someone who enjoys silver jewelry, butterflies or both. This beautiful piece measures 2 1/4" x 1 1/2" x 3/4" and has a locking roll over C clasp
