    Yes, Taeguk, and in excellent quality.

    Exaggeration! :lol:

    As far as I now these were from French manufacture beginning of the 20th century.

    Aha!

    So now we have a possible country of origin ...

    Could be one of these european made "collectors copies" that Peterson mentioned in his book (although, if I remember correctly, he wrote only about japanese orders like rising sun, sacred treasure, etc).

    Can you tell us where this info about french origin came from?

    Exaggeration! :lol:

    Come on!

    -high quality cloisonne enamel.

    -very fine stamped details.

    -filigree hinge construction.

    -chiseled central medallion

    I wouldn`t be suprised if this piece came from the same "workshop" as notorious Chrysanthemum ;)

    These are worlds apart!

    The chrysanthemum has badly made enamel (if hot enamel at all) and the details are very sloppy.

    Hm, I'd rather think that European awardees commissioned high quality pieces in Europe since the Korean made pieces are not very well done (or replacements for lost pieces). Just like the European made Lion and Sun's

    Yep, this Grand Cordon is work of the same maker ;)

    -high quality cloisonne enamel.

    Tell you the truth, it doesn`t look very high quality to me ...

    These are worlds apart!

    The chrysanthemum has badly made enamel (if hot enamel at all) and the details are very sloppy.

    I think it`s this terrible "gold gild" on rays that gives you this impression.

    But guillochage looks very much alike (center of "Taegeuk" and chrysanthemum on "Chrysanthemum").

    I`d say very close pieces (by work).

    Even same unstable thiсkness of the boarder.

    See ;)

    With different design of central medallion?!

    Instead of 陰陽 we have some hallcinogenic blasphemy!!!

    But we still see a lion in the center :whistle:

    P.S. Another argument that these two creatures ("Taegeuk" and "Chrysanthemum") are blood related is the absence of any japanese inscriptions on the back of suspensions ;)

    On this one you can see everything that the original piece has, too (except inscription). The central disk is just more stylized.

    Well, like an European manufacturer would know what any of those signs meant :lol:
