Philippe built it dimensional rather than flat, which is why it still reads as sculpture rather than ornament. The brooch appears in the Brunialtis' \u003cem\u003eAmerican Costume Jewelry Vol. 2\u003c\/em\u003e on page 126 and carries their highest rating, five stars out of five. It is marked Crown Trifari with Pat. Pend., the design having received patent number 131,430 in 1942, and measures 2 7\/8 inches wide by 3 1\/8 inches tall. It is substantial enough to want a sturdy fabric. Excellent vintage condition, from one of the most renowned collections the house ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Trifari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46227133104185,"sku":"154995487058","price":4495.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/6105\/3497\/files\/24_3_a129b5f7-554f-4e00-bf8d-e17deaae2945.jpg?v=1784575015","url":"https:\/\/www.floridasultimatetreasures.com\/products\/1942-crown-trifari-alfred-philippe-big-ming-bat-enamel-brooch","provider":"Florida's Ultimate Treasures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
