This is a fine sterling silver and enamel brooch from Norway. This maker is known for making flower enamel brooches in the 1950´s. The c-lasp and tube hinge makes you feel this is older, but I guess not. Most likely the flowers are handpainted lilac-bush. There is a branch-like pattern behind the enamel to create depth, that quite clever.
I hope idcloisonne will like this enamel brooch...
Thanks Vetraio50!

Thankyou Valentino97! There is a branch-like pattern in or behind the enamel to create depth. Tath's quite clever I think. I haven't seen these type of flowers before in Norweigan enamel pieces. I think it's lila-bush flowers which I like a lot in real life.
I ment to write lilac-bush.
I'd go for lilac too. Just beautiful.

Your very very welcome Elisabethan!! :)
Love the detailed flowers and beautiful colors!
Thank you very much Agram! I think this brooch is like a little painting and the colors are bright. I wear this quite often with a white sjal (swedish, sorry don't know the english word :), it bigger than a scarf).
Thankyou Toolate2!

A bigger scarf on English is called a shawl!
That is called guilloche-enamel. Very pretty!
Sjal and shawl are probably pronounced the same, too!
Yes you are right Celiene, thankyou!
The mark on the left of 925 is most likely David Andersen 1888- 1925.
