Uns. Hattie Carnegie Peach Elephant in the Grass Brooch
Spectacular unsigned Hattie Carnegie elephant in the grass brooch is very well-made with a lot of attention to detail.

This elephant is done with a peach-colored resin body, goldtone metal trunk and tusk, sparkling rhinestone marquises and crystals, enameled grass stems. Very dimensional with open metal backing, riveted in places, with textured goldtone plating. Measures 3" across. Excellent like-new condition. - $750

ELZAC Sweet Face Puppy Dog Pin
This little floppy-eared ceramic puppy dog pin is so adorable, and he's all gussied up with a fabric bow and collar so he'll look even more adoptable. Appears to be Elzac, a 1940's California Pottery company that produced a wide variety of these ceramic figurals. He's a good size, measuring 2 3/8" across. Metal c-clasp pinback is affixed to a lucite strip that is glued on to the back. Very good overall condition, with some mild surface crazing which is more apparent in the photo than in actuality. - $120

Parrot Pearls Piggies To Market Theme Pins
Love these artisan-crafted ceramic pins by PARROT PEARLS, a San Francisco Bay area company no longer in operation. One pin depicts three pigs heading "To Market" in a riff on the nursery rhyme "To Market To Market To Buy a Fat Pig" or possibly the counting rhyme "This Little Piggy." I've included a second Parrot Pearls pig pin headed in the opposite direction (he is not an exact match, with pink polka dots instead of splotches, but he is very close and I think these look cute together). To Market pin measures 2 7/8" across; single pig measures 1 5/8" across. Excellent condition. - $60
