This 2 1-4" flower brooch is titled "hibiscus" on back, and is realistically shaped with five petals of striped blue & green pearly enamel and a golden pistil, in a goldtone setting. By Marcel Boucher #8742.
The hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii, our trip there this year has been postponed due to volcanic air quality issues, but hoping things will be better in the Spring
Another beautiful design, Jenni, well picked !~
Really nice flower brooch, love the enamel work. Beautiful Jenni!
Freaky weather is getting less and less reliable everywhere.
The colors are lovely and compliment each other nicely!
Mary it's been very hot & humid here in NY, and in Manhattan we have air quality issues too, it's all these uncaring polluters, so awful. HI on the other hand has trade winds that bring the "vog" (volcanic fog) to all the islands, so when that Big Island volcano acts up, you just have to wait til it simmers down to enjoy a trip there. Hubby is gleeful as he wasn't looking forward to the long connecting flight, but I'm persistent cause I love the place (Oahu), thank you for the kind comment & understanding
Phil I just love your wonderful compliments, thank you so much and very glad you enjoyed this
Ken I am really grateful when you can help me with dating or naming a piece, I'm glad this piece is vintage and made while Boucher was still alive, as I know his company continued awhile afterward. Really appreciate the great compliment as well
Thanks so much truthordare for the super compliments & incisive comment, I too believe the world is getting freakier weather, perhaps it's climate change as our governor mentioned a few yrs ago after we got slammed by Hurricane Sandy right on Halloween, so weird. I just hope that HI volcano calms down enough to give me one last trip there, it's like paradise on earth
Thank you MrsT for the really kind words, I love these colors too though of course it's a fantasy colored hibiscus, but trust Boucher to put his own pretty spin on it
Appreciate the kind love everybody

It's too hot everywhere I think Newfld, even here in Ireland it's been BOILING! and that's extremely unusual....but, I digress, it looks like something you'd see under the sea like an anemone or something? Perhaps it's the deep colours that make me think that....
Thank you Re-In-Vintage for the very kind compliment & the love, so pleased you enjoyed this
This is fantabulous Jenni!.
Don't see Boucher here so I knew little about them before CW.
Thanks Karen for the great compliment, glad to be able to show you some Marcel Boucher pieces, they always had a special style & elegance and of course I'm partial to his animals, but the flowers were pretty nice too. Thanks friend for the kind words & luv
Many thanks for the kind love all
