Flapper Cameo

[betjohston_0]

Good morning everyone,

Need your guidance on this brooch.  Is this enamel, hand painted, Cloisonné? I'm ruling out Cloisonné, but I've been wrong before

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My best guess not seeing actual item  to examine is transfer print

Totally out of my realm of knowledge....transfer print

I'll research that

Thank you

The best I can explain it is think of a  picture transfer printed on a t shirt 

maybe someone else can explain it better 

By the way nice cameo love the colors

I Googled and now understand.  

I learn something new everyday, even at 73.

Thank you so much for your help

@betjohston_0,

The best way to identify a printed item, is by magnifying the item, or taking a very clear photograph and enlarging it. (Your pictures are great, by the way.)

Look for signs that the color is produced by very tiny dots. That means that the item has been reproduced by photolithography, which is how most commercial printing is done. You can see the tiny dots in the eyes, lashes and brows:
