On this piece
☉
Ciner's homage to Jean Schlumberger's elephant for Tiffany & Co., rendered in the house's own idiom: a regal Moghul elephant, fully dimensional, and made to the standard Ciner was known for. Ciner is the rare American maker that began as a fine jeweler and moved into costume in the 1930s, and it never entirely stopped building things the fine-jewelry way — which is what you are looking at here. The brooch is signed with the Ciner mark and a copyright on the reverse, and measures 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall. Excellent vintage condition.
