Marvella Flora Collection
In 1952, Marvella introduced a new series of pins to promote the popular look of enamel floral motifs. One of the most popular designs within this series was its “poodle” pin. The design featured gold-tone plating with clusters of enameled flowers forming the dog’s coat. Other designs included enameled floral bouquets or enameled floral wreaths as well as tailored pieces in the motifs of circles, flower baskets and bows.
