Two pendent beads: circular shape, decorated with a stylized floral ornament of gold contours, against the light green glaze: tulip stems with two leaves. These pieces were parts of a necklace that originally had 14 parts. Each part could be bought separately. A similar necklace was also prepared with eozin glazed version and also with gold mounting. The pendant was made with one pendent bead, with a different reverse decoration see No. 14.0/1 in the “Jewellery” pattern book. Just like the Crocus pendant with Cat. No. 9.181, these pieces were also exhibited at the 1902 Christmas exhibition of the Hungarian Society for Applied Arts.
