This listing is for the Antique Victorian Era Handpainted Porcelain Cherub and Forget-me-Not Flowers Gilded Pendant Brooch. The piece features a detailed, hand painted piece of porcelain that features a depiction of a cherub or angel playing the trumpet, and they are surrounded by blue forget-me-not flowers, mirroring popular designs of the period.

The Victorian era saw major trends towards mythological and biblical stories among elite classes, and these interests were most often portrayed within their jewelry and fashion, which many times featured depictions and/or characters from these stories, such as this piece depicting a cherub or angel. 

Also beginning in the Victorian period certain flowers began to hold special meanings, and the flower "Forget-Me-Not" which is featured on this brooch became a symbol of true love and constancy, adding another level of symbolism to the piece!
