Beautiful sterling and porcelain large round pendant. Pendant almost looks like an modernist image of our Planet Earth, at least that is my interpretation. The pendant is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or damage of any kind. Sterling has been professionally polished. I believe the center is made of acrylic and is incredibly shiny and bright, so any weird lines or marks are only reflections.

Hans Myhre - Oslo - In the 1937 he took over the Hroar Prydz Company upon Hroar Prydz death and ran it till 1965. During that time, Myhre became a shareholder in Bernhard Meldahl's firm in 1943.
