A Mexican version of the classic "giardinetto" jewelry, this set of Matilde Poulat earrings is rather unusual with its all-silver vase that holds the flowers. All tell-tale characteristics of Matl's creativity are here though: the silver has a hand-hammered texture, the wire-work with its tiny beading surrounds the vase like an undulating silk ribbon, there are small round dangles hanging off each earring's bottom and, last but not least, we have intense splashes of color from the coral and turquoise cabochons. Measuring 1 7/8" long by 1" wide the earrings weigh 19.6 grams (for the set) and are signed "Matl" in script on an applied rectangular tab. They are not hallmarked for metal quality yet have been tested and are guaranteed to be sterling silver. They date in the pre-1948 period and are in excellent vintage condition with beautiful patina, gorgeous color in the stones, a fun, playful design and no damage or repairs noted.
