Antiqued silver round dragonfly earrings ~ try as I certainly did, I was not able to get info on this gorgeous pattern. What I was able to learn: "Bishop and Stonier were successors of a number of companies firstly established in 1851. Earthenware was made at the Stafford Street Works (the head office) & the Church Works whereas China was made at the Waterloo Works. The previous partners (Edwin Powell & Frederick Bishop) died in 1890 & 1891, then this new partnership was formed between James Watson Bishop & John Stonier to form Bishop & Stonier." With the back stamp being that of PB&S, it must have been produced prior to Powell's death in 1890 ~ wow! This is, so far, the oldest piece of china I have worked with!

~ I have lovingly placed the porcelain pieces into round setting/bezels that are antique silver plated brass & measures just under 1/2" diameter & the earring part is hinged earwire.

*Each JBD piece comes with a 'Story Card' that tells a little about the Vintage China Pattern that was used in the piece purchased! :)
