Here is a delightful collection of white enamel jewellery from Denmark and Norway. Most of the pieces are brooches, but there is also a necklace and a pair of earrings. Half of the items are by Volmer Bahner, Denmark's most popular enamel specialist.
Apart from the butterflies, all the items have been guillochéed, that is, been engraved with a pattern on the surface of the silver, before the enamel was laid on top. Most of the items have been gilt, that is, treated with a gold wash This is most evident on the backs, edges, and some details.
