This is a glowing antique French handmade enamel pendant of a white daisy on a red background made by the master enamellist G. Candelier in Limoges, France. The extraordinary three-dimensional image gives the impression of stained glass. Gilt pinchbeck setting with a lovely patina. Exceptional and one of a kind.
It is signed on the back. 
Sold with an unusual vintage brass chain. 
 
Symbolically, daisies represent simplicity, positivity, and happiness. It’s often associated with the following: innocence, purity, new beginnings, transformation, humility, true love, and cheerfulness. In France the game “Effeuiller La Marguerite” is the same as the English “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not”, in which the petals of a daisy represent a longing for true love.
