Vintage Victoria Flemming N.Y. Mid-Century Modern Porcelain Cufflinks
Add a touch of authentic Mid-Century Modern artistry to your wardrobe or collection with this striking pair of vintage cufflinks by Victoria Flemming.

Condition Report:
These cufflinks are in beautiful vintage condition. The white porcelain remains bright, and the hand-painted enamel colors are incredibly vibrant with excellent gloss. There is minor, age-appropriate wear/thinning to the gold gilt paint along the outer edges and light surface patina on the rear metal backs, which is typical for authentic jewelry of this era. No chips or cracks to the porcelain faces.
