Anzac poppy vase brooches - small

Lest we forget. The red poppy is a symbol of war remembrance all over the world. Wearing our new vase brooches is a beautiful way to commemorate those who sacrificed so much for us. The three poppies symbolise the three forces - Army, Navy and the Airforce.
All of our poppy designs are created by us, in our home studio in Christchurch. Here is how we make these pieces: Poppies: We take pure copper and cut and dome it by hand. Then we sift a thick layer of vitreous (glass) enamel onto the copper. The pieces are then kiln-fired to achieve an even and glossy finish. Sterling silver “stems” have been carefully soldered to each poppy. Copper vases: These have been hand-cut and shaped into the unique forms you see here.
A brass pin with hook closure has been adhered to the back of the brooch.
The brooch measures 5cm.
