Description from the seller
Vintage geometric design brooch – KERN-EMAILLE – H. Tesselhoff – Germany – original box – ca. 1950-1970
Special vintage geometric design brooch manufactured according to the exclusive KERN-EMAILLE technique, designed and produced by H. Tesselhoff in Germany. The brooch is offered in the original KERN-EMAILLE presentation box, featuring the original description of the special production technique.
KERN-EMAILLE distinguishes itself by the use of high-quality enamel paints in which noble constituents, including gold and silver compounds and mineral components, are incorporated. By firing at very high temperatures, exceptional transparency and a deep, vibrant color glow are produced, characteristic of this technique.
The brooch features a strong geometric design with a diamond-shaped silhouette and a beautiful composition of deep blue, white, black and gold-brown enamel surfaces. The bright lines and symmetrical design perfectly align with mid-20th-century modernist design and show influences of both the Art Deco Revival and Mid-Century Modern.
In addition to jewelry, H. Tesselhoff also produced high-quality decorative objects using the same exclusive enameling technique. Original KERN-EMAILLE objects are now valued for their artisanal quality, durable finish, and distinctive color intensity.
An elegant and rare collectible for connoisseurs of vintage design, enamel art, and modernist jewelry.

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
