These beautiful vintage 'Kutani Crane’ by Wedgwood antiqued silver triangular pierced earrings were created from an ashtray that I curated from a very odd little thrift/antique store in Duncan, SC! 'Kutani Crane’ by Wedgwood is a high-quality bone china pattern featuring 2 cranes nestled amongst bamboo & floral details. In many Asian cultures, the crane is associated with longevity, good fortune & prosperity, making Kutani Crane a pattern highly sought after for its elegance & meaningful symbolism! Production: 1971 – 1998.
The design for these earrings was chosen from the ashtray, cut out carefully with ceramic tile nippers, smoothed out to size & shape with my handy dandy grinder, then (white) grout is applied to the edges to seal & further protect the vintage china pendant.
I have lovingly placed the porcelain pieces into triangular setting/bezels that are antiqued silver plated brass & measures 5/8" x 5/8". The earring part is hinged earwire.
