JACQUELINE RYAN, A FRESHWATER PEARL, BLUE ENAMEL AND GOLD COLOURED BROOCHCIRCA 2005The pierced circular panel with pinned en tremblant blue enamelled flower heads with freshwater pearl accents, stamped 750 with Italian control mark 152 PD, hand etched Jacqueline Ryan 2005Size/dimensions: 6.2cm wideGross weight: 29 gramsPlease note the pearls are untested and unwarranted as natural pearl.Provenance: from the collection of Victoria, Lady de Rothschild 'Most of my pieces are preceded by studies derived from living organisms, marine plants, flowers, or seeds and other found objects with the occasional aid of macrophotography that capture some of the finer-scale qualities more difficult to perceive with the naked eye. Repetition, naturally occurring in nature, is a recurrent theme that runs through much of my work as well as movement in which the composite shapes and forms from which my work is constructed move and sway with the body and sometimes jingle and rattle - quietly giving the work a pleasant tactile dimension and interacting with the wearer so that the piece may be animated and alive. I feel that my work has completed its cycle when it has found its wearer.' The mark 152PG refers to the workshop that Jacqueline shared with Giovanni Corvaja in Perugia. Neither of them were required to have an additional, individual maker's identification mark besides that of the premises because they were officially a working partnership in Padova and then in the Perugia area until 2005 (Corvaja & Ryan Snc), when Giovanni moved to a larger premises not far from the original workshop and Jacqueline purchased Giovanni's half of the premises and it became an individual business. They used to sign their own individual works by hand so technically all their works made before 2001 carried the Padova identification mark, thereafter 152PG until 2005 when the partnership was dissolved but she retained the 152PG identification.品相: Some light wear commensurate with age and use, a couple of flower heads are slightly crushed, a few of the pearls are on the inside of the flowerheads, but all appear presentSigned and dated by handBelieved to have been sold at the Scottish gallery in 2003.
