Signed Crown Trifari Sterling Dancing Tasha Brooch

This is a Crown Trifari Sterling (Silver) Dancing Tasha Brooch. Trifari had several designers in the past, one of them by the name of Alfred Philippe. He designed a matching set of brooches called “Sasha and Tasha”, two Russian Cossack Dancers. The brooches feature gold tone vermeil bodies and simulated pearls for the head. Further research shows that they were patented in 1947 and were originally known as #147865 ( Tasha) and #147866 ( Sasha). She measures approximately 1 3/4” in length. As you see in the provided photos, Tasha sports a red (cut glass) hat, a blouse with 14 clear pave rhinestones, a 5 rhinestone speckled skirt, and 3 clear pave rhinestones on her feet. However, both Tasha and Sasha have been seen with various hat colors; blue, green, red. Unfortunately, I was unable to reunite this Tasha with her partner. There is some damage to the simulated pearl and the entire piece needs cleaning as there is a lot of patina. Otherwise it is in good condition and there is no rough texture on its backing, indicating it to be an authentic vintage piece.
