Hey there!
I'm looking for some information about the maker and the age of this little silver brooch.
Thank you in advance,
Anja

Hi Anja,
That would be a shamrock rather than a clover as it is Irish.
The brooch was assayed at Dublin in 1978. I'm afraid the maker is unknown to me.

Thank you, dognose!
I see I've missed the finenesses of the british flora and language. So it is an irish shamrock and not an english leaf clover. ;)

The maker is Tara Ware Limited, Dublin. The company was set up in September 1995. Specialized in enameled jewelry inspired by illuminated manuscript (the book of Kells).
